Wordpress blog: How to set IP instead of domain

Postby hostingforum » Wed Nov 28, 2012 1:01 pm

Hi, you may face an issue where your Wordpress domain is pointed somewhere else and you want to see the blog from some other location. I mean your wordpress is installed on some hosting and domain is not pointed there.

THis way when you call your wordpress by example: from yourdomains.com it do not loads, so you want to load it from example IP: http://67.78.89.91/~username/ it redirects it loads, but not properly and shows error and no articles.

So what we do? Edit MYSQL database of your blog. Use PHPMyAdmin for example.
1. Find table wp_options
2. Browse it
3. Find value "home" and "siteurl" and change it to http://67.78.89.91/~username/ or any other url you want.. (your ip, your account username, path)

Then You should be able to see that site/login from http://67.78.89.91/~username/ without redirects to yourdomains.com ! :)

:yes
