Screwed up Wordpress transfer

I can't seem to get this transfer done properly.

The site displays the correct URL, but the navigation still goes back to the old site, I think because I haven't had success at changing the database server at all.

This is a pretty big problem for me.

Does anyone know of an easy way to edit the database or create a new one within PHP My Admin that will allow me to change the tables so they point to my new site URL?

I can't download and reupload it because it is too large.

Any ideas?

    maybe you have "hardcoded" the urls in your navigation?

    Also make sure your site url in settings tab is pointing to your new site

    Not sure you described the issue properly...

    By "transfer" you meant - ? moving to a different host; moving to a different domain, both;

    What do you have in the database in wp_options table in the 'site_url' and 'home' rows?

    1) As a quick check point you could try to go to this direction in your blog:

    your-blog.com/wp-admin/options.php

    Edit the URL using your domain name and hit the Go button in your browser to go to the All settings page:
    On this secret options page, you'll find an updateable, alphabetized list of all entries in your wp_options table.

    2) This is the first resource you should definitely see if that doesn't work.

    Google: moving wordpress site. The first result is the official guide; take a look for options and pointers.

    3)Then, to change some database fields from inside the Wordpress Admin you can use the following plugin:

    "Search and replace plugin" from the plugins section in the official wordpress site.

    Hope that helps

    If you have transfer your site from local host To live host.
    Open the database using Dreamweaver then find and replace http://localhost with http://www.yourdomain.com then save.
    Log in backend of your server using phpmyadmin delete existing table from the database. Then import the modified database. Now log in to wp-admin. go to setting ->parmalink-> check your link structure and save it. It will re-write the url.
    This method works for me
