I am doing a work from home web development internship. I was asked by the recruiter to make a website on WordPress. I have done the work but the site is hosted on the localhost as of now. How do I show it to my recruiter in order to get the weekly feedback on my work? I have never worked on WordPress before. Is there any way out?
You are in the same network then you can follow these steps to show your site to someone.
go to Admin Panel > Settings > General and replace your localhost with your ip-address for WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) and see if it works. Also, don't forget to put your WAMP/XAmpp server online.
Reference
If you are not in the same network then you should use Skype or TeamViewer to show your site.

I have a domain name from NameCheap, and I am hosting a WP site on Amazon Web Services EC2. I have already changed the A record to so the site pulls up anytime i go to myDomainName.com. Everything works fine until I hit the home bottom on the website. At that point the IP comes up in in the address bar. Any pages i access after that will have the IPaddress/page.
I know I may need to change something in the wp-config.php, but I don't think I have this file on my computer (I used AWS to launch WP, and I don't think I have download anything about WP except some plugins). My website address change option in setting-general on WP is also greyed out so I cannot change it. Anyone has any idea how I could make my domain name display?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you so much!!
have you tried changing your home and site url in wp-admin? If you go to wp-admin/options.php you can change the home and site url fields to your domain name. You can also do it through phpAdmin or editing the DB directly (wp-options table).
I am having an issue where I have a Domain name from Go Daddy, and I am hosting a WP site on Amazon Web Services EC2. I have already changed the A record to so the site pulls up anytime i go to www.bemoremarketing.com. Everything works fine until I hit the home bottom on the website. At that point the IP comes up in in the address bar. Any pages i access after that will have the IPaddress/page
From what I have gathered, I may need to change something in the wp-config.php, but I am unable to find where this is. Any help is appreciated.
You need to change the Site URL.
You can do this through the Wordpress Settings at Settings > General > Wordpress Address/Site Address, or in the wp-config.php file
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.com/wordpress' );
For more details see https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL.
Go to settings of wordpress. Then, change the URL as given below.
I do not know if this is still of interest but make sure you have all your pages linking to the actual www.yoursite.com
Also, make sure that your HOME link on the menu links to the www.yoursite.com instead of IP.
Changes made in the WP Settings > General are also needed.
I have fixed the same issue. My domain name is purchased from GoDaddy too. I use a raspberry pi and wordpress to build a website.
For GoDaddy.com, following this explain,
Use Forwarding with masking in your DNS management.
After changing wait for a while.
Go to your website by searching your domain name and it won't change to IP address on the address bar.
I didn't modify WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL)
I built a website for our company using a wordpress install. This is installed in it's own directory on our hosting account on GoDaddy. We have a domain purchased through GoDaddy added as an addon domain. When you go to OurNewSite.com you see the homepage located at OurOldSite.com/wordpress, and OurNewSite.com in the address bar. However, when you navigate to the About Us page on the site, the address bar changes back to OurOldSite.com/wordpress/about.
I've tried the answer from THIS POST here, with OurNewSite.com in the fields, but this doesn't seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
So, this is actually what worked for me. After waiting, the link eventually updated after a few hours, but it produced an Internal Server Error. THIS ARTICLE has a list of common causes for the error I was getting on the link pages. The directions for "checking for a corrupt .htaccess file worked like a charm.
I am currently migrating my website that was hosted on GoDaddy to an Amazon Linux instance. Everything has worked so far using elastic IP that I allocated, but I haven't been able to access other pages using the GoDaddy domain I transferred from my original website.
I have tried to change the site address/URL structure in the Wordpress settings, but I almost broke my website (TWICE!). Should I be changing one of the .htaccess files instead of the native Wordpress setting?
My elastic/public EC2 instance IP is: 52.26.232.168
The domain I would like to point to the IP is: artrantsbyaj.com.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
NOTE: I do not yet have a high enough reputation to post images yet, I apologize.
Try to refresh your permalinks:
Go to the permalink settings and save them (do not change anything, only click on save to refresh your permalink structure).
Test it and let me know if you have any problem.

When I install a backup of my Wordpress site on my local MAMP server, so i can work on it and test new features etc, and I visit ANY link or do anything (including logging in) it always throws me to the actual live website.
For example, if the local address for the site is "localhost/xyz" and I type that in, it takes me to it but anything after that throws me to the actual live site.
So on "localhost/xyz", if I click on log-in or any page etc, I end up at http://www.xyz.com
This is being VERY problematic because I can't test any page or work on any page locally.
How can i go about fixing this?
If you go into your database (on MAMP) via phpmyadmin, and check the options table, make sure that the lines for siteurl and home are set to http://localhost/ and not the live site url.
My problem was solution with this http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL.
Check out these two videos that I made on transferring a WordPress site to MAMP. I think they will help you.
