I have to rename a user but after doing that, their posts under the old name still shows up and the username still shows the old user. Is there a way to fix this?

I also changed the name of the forums and now emails are showing up with a broken logo. I updated the logo in General settings so what is the email using that still points to the previous domain which is now down? I've searched everything but the database and cannot find anything that points to the old domain.

If you changed the value of url in config.json then you have restart nodebb, so that next time the emailer sends email it uses the new url.

Yes, I changed the name/url in the config file along with on the back end of course. I also deleted the old logo and uploaded the new one but the logo in emails remains broken with the name of the previous site still in the url.

I searched the DB and tries to hard code the new url but that didn't work for emails at least. I searched all of the files to be safe and find nothing for the old url so I don't know where this is coming from.

Not sure what else to look at which is why I posted.

This is where the email template is rendered, you can add a console.log(params) there to see the values used for the logo.
