    I successfully installed WordPress. From the local machine, all the formatting show up perfectly. When I try to open the link from another machine, I get unformatted HTML. ie. black text on white background all left justified. All the formatting is stripped away. Can anyone please help me?

    Thank you.

  • Is this a local install or on a host server? Link?

    It’s a local install. I’m using it as an intranet family journal.

    Update: I just noticed that all the links on the page point to localhost. How do I correct that?

    And I bet the address when you look at it when it’s just fine is http://localhost right? And when it doesn’t look right, it’s some sort of IP address, or http://your_machine_name ? Yes?

    If that’s the case, then it’s because of the “blog” address settings. When you browse it from another machine, look at the source… you’ll notice that the address where the style sheet is “located” will be wrong. That’s because WP uses the blog UR[L|I] to set the location of the style sheet. Since the remote machine is looking for localhost – that would be itself – it’s not going to find the CSS file there.

    Answer: open the db, change all ocurrances of LocalHost to the actual IP of your machine (or what ever address the remote machine is using to access the site) and use that address when accessing it.
