Wordpress Host Ip Changed

Wordpress host IP changed

You have two places to update this (well three, but we'll stick with the two).

If you can still log into your admin section, type the following for your URI /wp-admin/options.php - so for example, if your site is http://localhost then your full URL will be http://localhost/wp-admin/options.php. Once you've logged into your site you should see two fields (well you'll see a lot of fields), but you'll want to look for the two with URL's in them - the Site URL and the Blog URL (in WP 2.7 the fields are labeled "home" and "siteurl", not sure on the other versions).

Or, you can log into MySQL database and run the following.

Select * from wp_options where option_name IN('siteurl','home'); 

I just ran this today on one of my installs. If you're option_value is set to your localhost - you can then run the following:

update wp_options set option_value='http://www.yourblogname.com' where option_name = 'siteurl';
update wp_options set option_value='http://www.yourblogname.com' where option_name = 'home';

This should update your table structure.

Can't access Wordpress site after IP change

Juan was right, I just needed to clear the browser cache. I followed this article to update the URL on a multisite WP installation; https://wpengine.com/support/how-to-change-a-multi-site-primary-domain. The article didn't mention that the browser cache had to be cleared and that's where I got stuck.

How to change a localhost url to ip in wordpress?

You put your IP address allocated by the network's DHCP server(if it exists) instead of 'localhost' it should work. else just put your ip address form the other computers connected to the network.

Eg. If your IP address turns out to be 127.23.45.66

You should enter this in the address bar of the other comps

127.23.45.66/wordpress/sitename

Use WordPress site as IP only until the domain is available

As the URL is written directly into the database. The best way is now to connect to MySQL and change the domain directly there:

1. log into the SSH session of your server

2. type mysql to access MySQL

3. now you can use SHOW DATABASES; to select the proper database in the next step

   in my case, it's called wordpress

4. to get into the database, type USE wordpress;

5. to see the current URL type Select * from wp_options where option_name IN('siteurl','home');

   for me it's http://159.89.***.***

6. now we can overwrite both with

   update wp_options set option_value='http://www.shop123.com' where option_name = 'siteurl';

   and

   update wp_options set option_value='http://www.shop123.com' where option_name = 'home';

7. and leave with exit

wordpress site still points to old host after dns changed

From my experience, you do get strange events happening for up to 2-3 days after a DNS change.

There is nothing to change within the Wordpress core. There is always a possibility that a plugin may store the IP but that should not stop you accessing your site.

You could try flushing the DNS on your PC. From the command prompt (assuming windows) type ipconfig /flushdns Depending on your Windows version, this may need elevated privileges.
