    I’m having a hard time researching how to connect to my WordPress via Xampp server and database from another computer. I seen some outdated techniques but were somewhat successful. Upon my discovery, I found that I can connect to the Xampp but unable to display WordPress account. Meaning that I can see the file from another computer but unable to view, browser states that the connection is lost. I accidentally disable the theme of my WordPress which then I was able to view all letters of my WordPress. I’m a novice to this and would appreciate all the help I could get!!! mucho gracias
    I would like to have feedback from certain people before I put it online.

    Please tell us what your settings are for your “site address” and your “wordpress address” ?

    Which virtual machine are you using, and which network method is it using bridged ? NAT ?

    I set the site address to website.com of which the wordpress address is localhost/website.com

    I’m using xampp but have using the IP address of the local machine where the xampp and wordpress is installed on.

    If that is a concise answer to your question, thanks for your help!!
