Temp IP address being used for Home page

You need to review https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress – specifically the section entitled “Changing Your Domain Name and URLs”.

Thans @esmi I have had a quick read – but it look beyond me! Are you sure this is the issue?

Check (but do not change) the urls entered in Settings -> General.

Yes, i did that – this looks fine. I wonder if I installed it incorrectly? (I’ve not moved the site – it’s freshly installed last week and just being developed in the live location – but I wonder if it thinks it’s in the temp location??

this looks fine

What are the urls?

Was the domain name registered and fully propagated before you installed WP? Or did you use a temp url initially?
Did you install WP manually or dud you use a 1-click installer provided by the hosts?

Another thought – are you using a custom menu and could the Home url have been hardcoded into that menu?

Yes the domain was propagated and added to my hosting before I installed WP.
I must admit, I was intending to install in the temp location (so I could dev it offline before going live) but somehow it was live from the word go – I didn’t mind this, as I pretty much had the content ready to add.

The installer is a 1 click within my hosting

Not custom menu -I’m using the default main menu option

The installer is a 1 click within my hosting

Check the config settings in the 1-click installer for that WP site. It should have details of the url that was used for the install.

I’ve asked my colleague to check this out – might be a while but I’ll get back to you. Thanks ??

SORTED! the install etc was all squeaky clean – I discovered on the site ‘Menu’ that the Home page was a ‘custom link’ – and it featured that rogue url. Edited that and it’s sorted.

I think you mentioned custom menu at one point as well, Esmi.

Thank you very much for your assistance ??
