local host install

You need to install WordPress using a domain name that resolves to your web server/web root, or an external ip address that can be resolved to your server using an apache virtual host configuration, rather than having the word “locahost” in your WordPress URL’s.

if “localhost” is in the wordpress URL, it will only be displayed properly from a browser on the machine where it is installed.

Hello Vinod,
ClaytonJames is right. The site cannot be accessible unless it somehow is connected to your network.

You can use a service like NoIP if you want your server with dynamic IP Addresses to be served online.

Hi vinod7007

Why do you need to access your localhost server from the internet?

One would expect that localhost servers are used for development and testing. Meaning that you want it “sandboxed”, i.e. not accessible outside your local computer (or local network at most).

Having your localhost server available over the internet could potentially pose a security risk. Try to avoid that problem.

If you need to have your development work accessible online, e.g for a client, then you should consider a hosting account, e.g. bluehost, etc., or even a free hosting account, and place your files there.

That way all your test content, images, etc, will be available to all.

Just my opinion/advice.

Hope that helps.

Hi Vinod,

I have faced same problem for a particular task few days ago. To avoid this issue you can just change the image path as absolute path.

Thanks!
