Load images from URL instead of LocalHost

  • Need help I’m hosting the website on an XMAPP server at home and I don’t know how to make the theme load the images from the server. When I copy the address for the images they are looking for localhost which works fine on the server but when loaded from an external browser via IP they obviously cannot find the files.How do I change so that the images are loaded from the ip address of server instead?

    @bigminty You cant do that with wordpress. You will have to download the images your server to your pc and then upload to your localhost wordpress.

    Thanks

    No your misunderstanding what I’m saying. I currently have a wordpress website on a localhost running with xmapp. Now if I load the website on the xmapp machine it loads fine all images show fine. But if I access it from another machine via ip address it doesn’t show the images. Ive copy’d the address for the images and I can see its looking for the images on localhost and obviously those images do not exist on the other machines. I have the woocomerce plugin installed to and those images are working and loading from the ip address but I can’t figure out how to tell optimizer how to look for images via ip not localhost

    @bigminty To access your whole site with ip address, You will have to change the website and wordpress address to your ip address like https://192.168.2.1 from Settings > General.

    Thanks
