I made a website with wordpress. The wordpress is installed with xampp. How to make it accessible for everyone? My link is http://127.0.0.1/wordpress/. When i try to access it with another pc. It failed. This site cant be reached.
127.0.0.1 is your localhost address, you won't be able to access that site from another computer. To make your site live, you need to buy a domain name (you can buy it from any hosting provider company) and a hosting package.
After buying the domain and hosting plan upload your site to the server.

Peculiar problem, I have a client with a site they would like to replace. The site being so old that the company's that provide the domain and hosting don't provide these services anymore. I managed to contact the company where the domain was registered and transfer the domain name to the google registrar but have had no luck in locating the provider for the hosting in order to transfer the site itself and thus gain control of it.
My question is: can you kill the old site that the domain links to or otherwise upload a new site to the domain without access to the hosting?
If you got control of domain, it doesn't matter if the old site remains up.
Just point the domain to the new hosting server/folder as they tell you in their instructions and the old site will be inaccessible other than by IP address.
I develop with wordpress in localhost with xampp, I would like to invite collaborators to work on the same wordpress project then I create a network and configure xampp so that it is accessible on the other post by entering my ip address but at each once they have access to the wordpress project they only have access to the first page impossible for them having access to the administration login page please help to solve this problem.
I am trying to move a site from Yahoo Small Business to a local hosting company. I am able to log in to the host with FileZilla.
I have also downloaded the files from YSB and have them locally. But the local hosting company gave me a test host and I cannot access cPanel to upload the files. Also, when I try to put the url.com/cpanel I get directed to the home page of the current site still listed with Yahoo. I have imported the files from my computer to the new host via Filezilla, but I'm not seeing anything and can't log in.
I am unable to change the DNS of Yahoo to the test host.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I agree with #yohoprashant that you will need to do a few work arounds until you migrate your DNS. Most hostign companies will give you a temporary URL (IP address) and which should give you access to cPanel and testing your initiatl WordPress install. 111.111.111.111/cpanel
Wordpress has a great step by step that you should be able to follow once you get the basic WorkdPress install either through the download or cPanel install. Check it out here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
Just wondering if someone can clear something up for me. I am moving a site to another hosting provider for a friend who had their blog hosted on wordpress.com but had bought their own domain through them so the "wordpress.com" extension wasn't displayed.
I have transferred the new domain and I'm waiting for the DNS records to propagate. In the backend of the Wordpress site I have since changed the default domain to be "blogname.wordpress.com"
What I'm wondering is after the DNS records have propagated and the transferred domain now points to the new hosting will I still be able to access the wordpress.com site?
Or does this disappear?
It depends upon what you do with your old WordPress website. At WordPress.com dashboard you will have multiple options like:
Delete Site
Change your site’s address and keep your content
Empty your site of all its content for a fresh start
Transfer your website to someone else
Make your site private so only people you invite can see it
Usually, WordPress.com users set 301 redirection to self hosted domain. This way you will not lose any traffic or links pointing to your site. WordPress.com offers an add-on call site-redirect which cost only $13/year and it offers 301 perma-redirect.
I have a wordpress site hosted on WAMP on my local PC. I want other people on my network to view this website but when I tested it from another PC none of the stylesheets, scripts etc are being loaded. I troubleshooted it and found this is because it's looking for those files on localhost. How can I change it to look for those files relative to the folder? Thanks
What you have done is a bit like moving the site to another domain. Because WP records the domain name in its database when you install it, it thinks its domain is localhost.
Now you are getting to it by lets say using your ip address 192.168.0.10 this is considered a new domain name and when it attempts to server various resources it is still using the original domain name of localhost it cannot find those resources on the other PC's.
You can find out what you need to do here on the worpress site Changing the site url
I solved this by using my IP address as the site path in Wordpress/Settings/General
