Access localhost at PC from mobile device

  • Hi Experts,

    I am a newbie here, sorry if I have some mistakes in asking a question or wrong forum.

    I use Page Builder Framework.

    I have installed a wordpress at localhost (in my laptop) and everything fine…I can see my website looks like as normal. Now, I am going to see my website from my mobil phone.

    What I have done was,

    1. I use the same network connection (PC and Mobile) in order can connect to mobile phone.
    2. I have my IP Address on my PC.
    3. I have already changed in WordPress at Setting –> General : from localhost/wordpress to myipaddress/wordpress.
    4. I also adjust XAMPP on configuration to add my ipaddress.

    The result is, my website can be opened from my mobile device, but, the background image (using elementor) and my logo (page builder frameworks) were dissapeared.

    My question is, how to make those images can be seen both logo and the background image.

    Kindly need your help.

    Thank you.

    Rasya

    Hi @belajar007,

    I’ve been using BrowserSync to display local sites on my phone during development a couple years back. Technically, you can use Gulp in conjuction with our child theme to get this working.

    This is a bit more on the technical side and not always easy to set.

    You would have to install NVM & Gulp on your local machine to be able to run Gulp in the child-theme’s folder. After that, you should be able to use BrowserSync to sync the website across your devices.

    Again, this may take a little time to figure out. I remember I spent quite some time on this and never actually used it.

    You should be a lot faster spinning up a live test-environment to access the site from my phone.

    Best,
    David
