Admin panel hanging – no Internet connection

  • I am doing some webpage development at a location with no Internet connection. Local network is a 1 m crossed cable and the server is a Intel NUC with Centos7/Wordpress4.8

    As there is no internet connection the plugin admin page is hanging if I try to use it for plugin installation or activation/deactivation.

    Is there a way to fix this som that the plugin admin page will now be hanging when trying to reach out to Internet?

    Thanks a lot, but I belive this solution will not work good enough for this project. It is a “multimedia learning site” with some hundreds of web pages (I guess ca 500 when it is finished,ca 250 now) and the idea is to have a local physical copy of the internet connected server that is more or less identical. It works quite well and content can be exported from the local to the internetconnected server, it is now only this issue with the login to the admin panel and plugin admin that is quite slow.

    So the local development server should be “allmost identical” to the internetconnected server, except for the admin panel and the plugin admin panel should not require internet connection.

    After googling and checking a bit, I found a solution that I thin works perfect. Near the end og the wp-config.php file i added this statement:

    /** Block external requests */
    define(‘WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL’, true);

    I found this solution here on this webpage:
