# IPN URL cannot be edited

 * I have successfully used this plugin on a website I have been developing, however
   we recently had to change hosts before launch and that has caused a bit of a 
   headache.
 * Our current website is set to a domain that is not yet transferred. Because of
   this I need to access the WordPress admin via direct ip (or change my Windows
   hosts file) However, in the settings for the website it already uses the domain
   as the base path for the website. I would like to keep it this way because changing
   it breaks a lot of css.
 * Is there a way to change the IPN URL to be different from the site base URL? 
   Its greyed out in the settings and I cannot change it unless I change the site
   base URL. I would like to change this to the direct ip, as I had to specify that
   in the PayPal account.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fipn-url-cannot-be-edited%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * [@so3arbelnox](https://wordpress.org/support/users/so3arbelnox/), I’m not entirely
   sure I understand you here, but if I do understand you then it should actually
   work as-is. If your IP address maps to the site base URL anyway, then simply 
   replacing the site base URL value in the IPN URL our plugin gives you with your
   IP address should result in the same thing. Did you give that a try?
