define('WP_HOME','https://www.newurl.com'); define('WP_SITEURL','https://www.newurl.com'); |
Now site works, but some of the resources are loaded from OLD site url, this breaks some of the icons.

Using URL replacement plugins like Better Search Replace or Velvet Blues Update URLs did not fix the problem.
To fix the it, login to wp-admin. Click on “Avada” on left menu, select Theme Options
wp-admin > Avada > Theme Options > Import/Export
Under Export Options, click on “Download Data File”, this will ask you to save theme configuration file as a .json file, for me it saved fusion_options_backup_02-08-2019.json.
Next click on “Import Contents from File” button. It will show a text area, paste content of the json file you downloaded in previous step here and click “Import”. This will fix the problem related to fonts loading from old url.
