Wordpress moving issues

I am moving all content from one domain to another just so I can change urls. I have moved over all the files and database. The issue is wordpress still reads the old database. Where to I change it to read the new one instead?

wp-config.php in the root folder - you can change some other settings there too.

  Yes sir. wp-config.php is where its at.
  
  You may also find the wordpress doc article at Moving WordPress « WordPress Codex useful.
  
  They somewhat talk about the wp-config.php file at Editing wp-config.php « WordPress Codex
  
  You may also find the youtube video: WordPress Tutorial how to change database details - YouTube useful.
  
  Hope that helps!

The easiest and safest way to do the trasfer database is to use Search Replace DB script.

To use the script, you should install it in the root folder of your WordPress install. You should also, to protect yourself from automated scanners looking for this script, rename it first. eg, you could name it as rrreplace.php – you’d then visit a url like yourdomain.com/rrreplace.php and follow the on-screen instructions from there.
What you absolutely, 100% certainly MUST do is to delete the script once you’ve finished.

The script and instructions can be found at github at this link https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB
