Magento – Transfer magento 2 to new domain, links redirect to old one

magento-2.1magento2

We have a dedicated server managed with whm and cpanel for the domains.

I have created a dev version for my magento 2 website https://domain.com.

I have uploaded files and database, changed
in core_config_data table for web/unsecure/base_url and web/secure/base_url to have the new domain dev.domain.com.

Now the issue is the new domain has links who redirects to the old domain, in the top navigation, menu, account creation link, …

The original website is multistore website with 3 stores with mode developper activated

When viewing the new domain firstime i got session error, i fixed it adding
'save_path' => '/tmp'

'session' => [
 'save' => 'files',
 'save_path' => '/tmp', 
],

In app/etc/env.php

In the original website, there’s no problem related to session, is adding this config causes a problem?
I cleared cache folder var/cache

rm -rf var/cache/*
rm -rf /var/tmp/magento/*

, also with this command

php bin/magento cache:flush

also removed static files

rm -rf pub/static/adminhtml pub/static/frontend

Reindex links

bin/magento indexer:reindex

But always menu and top navigation links are from the old domain
I tried this question all links redirecting to old domain after moving to new domain and this Moved magento to new domain, admin URL redirect to old admin URL but without a solution.

Edit in I added this code to get base url in module-theme Topmenu.php file

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$storeManager = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface');
var_dump($storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl());exit;

It returns the old website

Try these commands

 1. rm -rf var/di/* var/generation/* var/cache/* var/log/* var/page_cache/* var/session/* var/view_preprocessed/* pub/static/*
 2. php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f

Magento – Magento 2 with multiple domain names

Maybe this will help anybody, I use this in my index.php and works like a charm :)

switch ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) {
    case 'www.domain-x.com':
    case 'domain-x.com':
        $params = $_SERVER; $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = 'x'; 
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website'; 
        $bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $params); 
        $app = $bootstrap->createApplication('Magento\Framework\App\Http'); 
        $bootstrap->run($app); 
        break; 
    case 'www.domain-y.com':
    case 'domain-y.com':
        $params = $_SERVER; $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_CODE] = 'y'; 
        $params[\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManager::PARAM_RUN_TYPE] = 'website'; 
        $bootstrap = \Magento\Framework\App\Bootstrap::create(BP, $params); 
        $app = $bootstrap->createApplication('Magento\Framework\App\Http'); 
        $bootstrap->run($app); 
    break; 

    default: 
        Mage::run(); 
    break; 
}
