The website is frozen after 301 redirect

Hello mates,

I made a 301 redirect on one of my websites. Purchased a new domain, installed WordPress on it, and then did a 301 redirect in order to inject the rank of my old website to this new domain.
The problem is that the new domain (website) is not going to rank! It is frozen at the page #6 of Google for months,

I tried to add more and more contents to the new website, At the same time I tried to create more backlinks to it. But nothing is going to happen!

Can you please direct me what might be wrong?

Cause by doing 301 redirect I had transferred the contents (articles) of the old website into the new one, might this be the problem? Maybe somehow (say by a fault I did?!) Google sees this as duplicate content or something?

I have no other point why I have this problem. Any help please?

Thank you.

P.S. After 301 redirect, I tried to let the old website alone, No new content/no backlinks. Just worked/working on the new website. Might it be the problem?

    Did you redirect each of the individual old URLs? Assuming you had old internal pages with some followed backlinks pointing at those URLs/pages.

    Did any of the old pages rank before you messed with 301s?

    Why do you have a new domain?

    No. If you did a 301 redirect, the old website should be completely unreachable by humans or bots.

    This. I'm going to guess you just did a blanket redirect of everything to the home page of the new domain, which was entirely the wrong way to do it.
