WordPress from home and noip

There is no such thing as “publish”. You only have to ensure that your ISP allows you to run a server, and that your router and firewall allow external access.

In WordPress, set the site’s URL on the General Settings page (in both places).

You’ll need to change or make an entry in your routers configuration to forward port 80 to your webserver ip address. When requests come in to your internet facing IP address your router will know to forward that request to your webserver.

Once this is setup, you should be able to go to https://<yourIPaddress&gt; and your webserver will respond. Then you can work on setting up the noip part so you wont have to use an ip address.

You should also consider making your webserver ip address static. It would not be good if your router assigned your webserver a new ip address which will break the forwarding of port 80.

Google is your friend here.

Using no-ip means there is no need for a static IP address. That’s the whole point of it. If the router assigns a new IP address, no-ip tracks the change automatically so that your URLs always point to your server.

I don’t mean a static IP from the ISP. I’m talking about a static IP on the local lan. If you’re going to forward ports to an IP address in the local lan you should makes sure that the same IP address is being assigned to same computer everytime.

Hi Guys – wow thanks for all the information. I would like to ask a question if i can.

The website is now live! Running on no-ip
https://www.setup4it.co.uk – still needs some work but it is on track. Anyway it can be accessed no problems apart from when i am at home!
if i ping https://www.setup4it.co.uk i get a response from 88.151.129.145 at home if i do a lookup on the address https://www.setup4it.co.uk i get 86.10.102.127 (my no-ip address server)

It means I cannot now logon from home?

Flushed my dns ipconfig /flushdns all pc’s

rebooted all devices including the router but it sill points at 88.151.129.145

I am very confused!
Any help would be great as i now cannot edit my website!

You need to set a local address for your website.

Add another VirtualHost that routes to the wordpress directory.
