  • It sounds like you may have installed WordPress with “locahost” in the URL. That means it will only display properly from a browser on the machine it’s installed on. If your home server has a static internal ip address, ex: 192.168.x.x – then installing WordPress using that IP address will make it available to you on your own LAN from other devices.

    There are other (lots of) solutions available for for development and viewing across your own network, but I think one of the most common is to just install WordPress using the static internal ip of the server.
