New db not recognized by WPToolkit

New server with some old WP installs to restore to. Installed WP via WPToolkit, put in new db, changed wp-config to new db but the Ui still shows the original auto-installed db no matter how many times I refresh it.

  It sounds like WP Toolkit may still be using the database information saved during the original installation. I’d check the database settings in WP Toolkit as well as the wp-config.php file, then try refreshing or rescanning the WordPress installation. If it still shows the old database, removing and re-adding the installation to WP Toolkit may help.

  That sounds like a good plan to me - manually confirm the database inside the wp-config.php file, and also check the data on the server.  You could always do this as well to ensure there is no previous data there:

  -remove all WordPress installs through cPanel
  -delete any databases through cPanel
  -reinstall WordPress through WP Toolkit

  At this point it would have to use fresh data as part of the WP Toolkit installation.
