Support » Localhost Installs » Theme Images not showing up outside of localhost

  • Ok, i’m having a bit of troulbe getting this all setup.

    1. After initial installation, i can go to localhost and everything works perfectly. However, when i visit my url http://www.davidschwerdtfeger.com from outside of my network, the page shows up as plain text. The solution for this was changing the site url to http://www.davidschwerdtfeger.com. After doing this, the pre-installed theme images worked fine at first. However, i could no longer access my site from localhost, nor could i login to the admin page from anywhere else. When i would go to the wp-admin.php page, my admin login credentials would no longer work. When i entered in my username/password and hit log in, the page would just refresh. So, i had to manually edit the wp-config.php file and add the following so i could access the site from localhost and access the admin page.

    define(‘WP_HOME’,’localhost’);
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’localhost’);

    I’m fine wiht only beng able to rech the admin page by changin the siteurl to localhost. So, I went through last night and added some custom headers and logos to the page. 1 of them i did through the wp-admin page and upladed it through there. The other, i just overwrote the logo.png file in \\wp-content\themes\theme\images\. When i changed the wp_siteurl back to define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://davidschwerdtfeger.com’);, none of the images on my page are working. I think ive got something very wrong with the configuration here. Any Help would be great.

    I actually figgured out a little workaround. I noticed that the picture properties of the images that were not showing up were http://localhost/etc etc. So, i uploaded the images to imageschack and linked them from there. still doesnt explain why uploading them in WP doesnt work though :/
