External redirect and page redirect

  • Hello! I’m having issue to migrate my local to an hosting.
    SO i’m trying to make accessible from external (with xampp).
    So i tried in wordpress settings to chgange home and siteurl to https://myip/site, but i cannot access the site and dashboard anymore (ERR CONNECTION REFUSED).
    So i changed that lines from db in wp_options to https://localhost/site again and now i can access the dashboard.


    How can i make it accessible using the ip, from an external network?

    Thank you

    Best regards

  • Hello @romans96 , I would be glad to assist you.

    What steps did you follow to migrate your wp install from your localhost install to your hosting provider?

    This is the wp migration page that may assist you. There is a section towards the bottom “Relocate method“. This is a way to automatically have wp update the Site URL for you. Please give that a try and post an update.

    Okay.
    To put website accessible from external i tried with home/siteurl from dv, with wp-config.php and wp-includes/functions.php methods
    Using mypublicip:port/site

    With all of them (with port forwarded), it says error_connection refused, to any device, also to the LAN devices.

    The hosting i tried have a prebuild wordpress, not a vps. So i tried with several plugins but no one worked, and also manually, copying wp-content and db but it won’t work

    @romans96 Can you confirm that you can use your hosting wp install and then access the site?
