fonzievision, wj5 and iceflatline > what did you set the wordpress and blog uri to?

I’m finding that if I set these to a the private IP / local-network resolvable hostname, I can see the admin page ok from any machine on my local network, but appears to be unformatted text for anyone viewing across the wan link. However, if I change the uri to a FQDN, remote viewers can see clearly, but locally I get a themeless site (and if runs slow).

Seeing a similar post all over these forums and am starting to think it might be as Microsoft would put it, an “undocumented feature” ??

To hazard a guess (and tbh, I’m probably not qualified to jump to this conclusion) think wordpress might be making static references rather than relative.

As I’ve noted in another post, I’ve tried setting these values (and before I say anymore, don’t attempt these unless you know what you are doing cause it will take you ages to figure out how to undo) as blank, as “localhost”, with local and with FQDN urls.

No glory yet… would love some assistance ??

Verify there is a trailing “/” at the end of the url on windows machines – your post suggests it’s there, but it’s caught me out before. This is generally a problem when you are not using the web root but a sub directory and haven’t specified the page to open … e.g.

https://… = no error
https://…/ = no error
https://…/wp-admin = ERROR
https://…/wp-admin/ = no error
https://…/wp-admin/index.php = no error

Fairypix > did this problem only happen AFTER you modified the wordpress address and blog addresses?

Hi, I’ve been experiencing the same problem – i.e. whatever Word Press URI or blog address I enter, it seems to only be accessible externally OR internally, but not both.

Have tried leaving blank, using “localhost” to no avail. (Btw, don’t try to do this – it’s a headache to cleanup.)

Aurora -> you ever get this working? Anyone else have any ideas?
