Wordpress changing domain

I'm back on some Wordpress projets, and I finished a test site using a local ".test" url. So I decided to make it online on : http://example.com

I changed my wp-config.php with OVH data, the database connection is OK. I also changed in phpMyAdmin the old url to the new url.

But Css files trying to load with the following url :

http://example.com/:/example.com/wp-includes/js/wp-emoji-release.min.js?ver=5.4.2

I can't make it work properly, do I have to do something else ? I think I followed every steps. I juste bough OVH domain this morning, maybe I have to wait more ?

My .htaccess :

# BEGIN WordPress
# Les directives (lignes) entre 'BEGIN WordPress' et 'END WordPress' sont
# généré dynamiquement, et ne doivent uniquement être modifiées via les filtres WordPress.
# Toute modification des directives entre ces marqueurs sera outrepassée.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Thanks !

  1. Via your database backend, Click on your wp_options table, Locate the 'siteurl' and 'home' rows, Alter the URL by typing in a new one.

  2. Log into your site using FTP or SSH and in your WordPress directory, edit the file titled 'wp-config.php'.

define('WP_HOME','http://ba-construction.fr');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://ba-construction.fr');

  1. Login to your website via wp-admin.php and navigate to Settings -> General, here you'll see the HOME and SITE URL your WordPress site is configured to use.

  2. You can even rename your .htaccess to .htaccess.bak or similar and let wordpress generate a new one - then any changes you've manually done to .htaccess you can update when you get back in.

If you gain access to your admin area, there are a number of plugins available to update all your files/links to the new domain url - then everything should be good to go! Just make sure you backup first. Eg: https://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/

All of your links in your source are showing ://address.... or ba-construction.test. Double check your database entries and wp-config.php that you've changed, disable all of your plugins (yoast is still loading old data), check out those link refresh plugins, reactivate plugins and you should be good to go.
