• Hello,

    I have a website that I want to access the backend only by IP address.

    Is it possible without having any conflict?

    Thanks in advance!

  • WordPress doesn’t really have any control over this. Where are you hosting? You should make such configuration in the web server (apache, nginx).

    Thanks for your reply.

    My website is hosted in AWS and I want to access the backend by Private IP address for security purposes. I just want to know if I set the following values in wp-config.php:

    define( ‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://domain.com’ );
    define( ‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://domain.com’ );

    Is there a way that I can access the backend by IP address such as http://XX.XX.XX.XXX/wp-login.php? Is that a common practice?

    Thanks!

    Yes that is correct, but back- and frontend are always running on the pi. So they are always in the same network (back- and frontend), but the backend does not have the same ip address if they both(back- and frontend) move to another network.

    @predovic – thank you for your reply but sorry, I didn’t fully understand your comment.

    Can you explain in a lighter way?

    Thanks!

    This is helpful for redditors who are either live or being in a countries/areas with DNS-based censorship, so accessing reddit through IP might give them some good way to bypass restrictions (as long as there is no IP address-based restrictions).
