Page Displaying Only Text

  • I have a site running on a LAMP server install of WordPress. I have a NAT created on our firewall from an outside IP address to the internal server. Unfortunately my page is not displaying correctly when I visit the site. I only get the text of the site, no images, no slider, no images, etc. Is there a special port WordPress needs open besides 80 and maybe 443?

    Thanks in advance.

    Nope. If the site works from outside the LAN, but not from inside, it still sounds like a NAT loopback issue. (or an installation issue)
    How did you install WordPress? Domain name, IP address, or something different?

    I apologize if I wasn’t clear before. The page is fully visible inside of the LAN, but text only outside of the LAN.

    Thanks,

    What URL did you use to install WordPress – what’s currently in the addresses in your WordPress dashboard general settings? Is it https://yourdomain.com, a private internal ip address (ex. 192.168.x.x, 10.1.x.x. or ‘localhost’), or your WAN ip address?

    It is a private internal address. 10.60.82.77/wordpress.

    When I try to access it from outside I use the external ip address in place of the 10.60.82.77

    General settings under the dashboard displays that internal address.

    That could be an issue. I don’t think you’re going to be able to resolve WordPress addresses in the private IP range from the WAN. If your WAN IP is static, you can use that ip address in your WordPress URL’s, but if it’s dynamically assigned by your ISP, every time it updates the site will break. If that’s the case, you might consider a service like DynDNS with a dynamic IP update client.
