CSS Won’t Show on Remote Machine

Why’s it in a frame set?

Actually, here’s your problem: https://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/themes/classic/style.css

localhost just won’t get it done for you. You’ll need to figure out something better for the URI fields (Options -> General) if you want other folks to see the site too.

Again, newbie here, what exactly would I put there? Would it be whatareyoulookinat.com/wordpress? Or the IP address? Thanks again very much.

Presumably, http://whatareyoulookinat.com/wordpress

Yeah I just did it from here, so I have to find someone to test it from outside my LAN, but it now works on the other computers inside my LAN. So thank you very much.

papa: I guess from what you’re saying your developing the site on a local machine & want it available out on the net?

The problem with doing that (as you’ve found) is that the name of your computer is different in different places. This isn’t helped by redirecting through a frameset. If you set your server in WP options to “localhost” it works for you but not anywhere else, if you change it to your servername it’ll break for you.

Your options are to upload your site somewhere else (i.e. paid hosting) or to get a domain name to actual point at your computer (try dynamic dns sites, e.g. https://www.no-ip.com or https://www.dyndns.org ).

With one of those you can put that whatever dynamic DNS name you come up with in your server name and it’ll work from there (as long as you’re online, although there is a way around that). You can still put your frameset around to hide the real domain.

Hope that makes some sense.

I’m using No-ip, with said domain name. Like I said, I think it works from inside, but need to see from outside my network.

Secondly, I have no clue what a frameset is…

Ok, what you’ve got set up is the No-IP isn’t sending traffic direct to your computer. It’s wrapping frames around it & then sending it on. If you go to your site and then go to View->Source in your browser you’ll see that there actually isn’t any content, just a link to https://69.171.203.8:8082/wordpress

That means any visitors are connecting to that IP address (yours) but your domain does not point to your computer, it still points to the No-IP servers.

Another problem is that anyone visiting your site will not be able to see the URL of the page they are on (not good for bookmarks).

I’m guessing you’ve set some option somewhere which is making this happen, though I’m not familiar enough with No-IP to be able advise you.

Ideally you’ll have to add a VirtualHost for this domain to your httpd.conf file and change the settings in No-IP to stop it using frames to redirect.

This is all getting a bit off-topic for a WordPress list. If you want to try and work this out click through to my site & contact me from there.
