Missing domain http:.wp-… in redirects

I am migrating my WP website from staging to production and I have a problem with Dashboard access.

When I try to access

http://<domain>/wp-admin.php

it redirects me to

http://./wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2F<domain>%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

I can login with going directly to http://<domain>/wp-login.php and I can go to any Dashboard page but cannot change anything (with Save button) without redirecting to http://./wp-admin/….

For example, if I want to change post content,

1. I do it and hit Save button.
2. Then I redirects to http://./wp-admin/post.php?post=20&action=edit&message=1.
3. Then I go back and see that post changes are saved.

The same problem is with changing Permalinks settings.

So what is broken: there is a dot . instead of my domain in redirect URIs.

Maybe it is because of cyrillic одиссейдом.рф domain?

Have I add some rewrite rules to fix it?

---

UPD:

I saved a page, go back, save again and there is no problem.

Then I tried to change site title in Settings/General and there is no problem too.

Then I tried to turn off Emoticons in Settings/Writing and there is no problem.

But activating/deactivating a plugin goes with problem.

I have no idea, my friends.

Possible solution: * go to permalinks under settings and check URL structure with your desired domain name. Even if the URL seems to be right, click the desired structure and save. This was handy while i migrated 2 websites. or * look for "wp_options" table in your database. You will find "siteurl" & "baseurl" row. Check if they are the right one.

Optional: search the whole database for the right URL.

I advise you to:

1. Go to /wp-admin/options-general.php and see if your site urls are correct. If it works change them or edit them in the database manually;
2. Delete your .htaccess file or replace it with a default one;

3. You can also add the following lines of code to the wp-config.php file:

   Define('WP_SITEURL','http://your-site-url');

   Define('WP_HOME','http://your-site-url');

Can you access :

http://example/wp-admin/options-permalink.php

If you can try to change the option and reselect the same one and save

I had same issue for me even admin as not loading, My db had correct site url and home.

The solution which worked for me is, adding following lines in wp-config:

define('WP_HOME', YOUR_SITE_URL);
define('WP_SITEURL', YOUR_SITE_URL);
