main-domain of WordPress keeps redirecting to subdomain

-1

I was in process of deploying my WordPress website mysite.com/NewSite to mysite.com during the deployment I messed up something and my main site has started redirecting from mysite.com to mysite.com/NewSite.

I have deleted everything from root folder, checked cPanel redirects section etc but everything looks fine. I also created .htaccess file under public_html folder but still no luck.

# BEGIN WordPress

<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

My web site is presently down.

This could be a browser cache issue. Try it in another browser or clear your browser cache.

Please read Under what circumstances may I add “urgent” or other similar phrases to my question, in order to obtain faster answers? - the summary is that this is not an ideal way to address volunteers, and is probably counterproductive to obtaining answers. Please refrain from adding this to your questions.

Make sure these two settings in your "options" table are correct:

siteurl

home

From the database admin, you could update them with:

update wp_options set option_value='http://example.com' where option_name='siteurl';

update wp_options set option_value='http://example.com' where option_name='home';

EDIT: If you've already changed these settings, and confirmed that there isn't a .htaccess redirect happening, the next place to look is in the web server's configuration for any redirects. These could have been previously placed in the VirtualHost configuration file for example.
