    We are building a WP site on a new IP address, keeping our current site up on it standard domain name- once new website is complete will redirect to domain…Wordpress URL is IP address/wordpress Site URL is domainname/wordpress

    All the pages are breaking, can’t preview – Error 404— How do I build website at IPAddress, while keeping domain name site up and running – with permalinks listing domain name so I don’t have to individually redirect every page ???

    404 indicates failure to communicate with the server.
    – it could be configuration issue
    – it could be memory issue
    – it could be permalinks issue, review this: How to fix 404 error when using Pretty Permalinks?– it could be optimization issue
    – it could be a conflict with plugin: try resetting the plugin folder – it could be a conflict with theme: try switching to the default theme for a moment via FTP and see if that resolves the issue.
    – check for .htaccess file presence and check if the default wordpress mod-rewrite code is there or not. There are times when .htaccess file is not writeable or gotten deleted
    – Check the server error log for your hosting account. Ask your hosting provider for assistance to locate them.

    What you are trying to do is building a new site at IP address without having a domain name. When your site is completed you will redirect your domain to IP Address?

    If this is the case you dont need domain name in your permalinks for IP Address site.

    When your new website is completed just redirect old domain to new IP Address.

    Well about 404 errors. Try to turn permalinks off and then turn back them on. This will create an .htaccess file with proper redirect rules. If you are still having 404 errors then create .htaccess file manually and upload it.
