Managing same wordpress site with multiple IPs

    Hello,

    I am not sure whether I should be posting this question on a existing topic. I wasn’t able to find one related to my query.

    I have wordpress 3.5.1 installed with an IP. Everything with that IP works great. My problem is that I have two IPs. One for internal maintenance and a different one for public.

    My query is how can I manage the same install with two IPs. I have looked through for solution and I found a solution that I can make IP changes to wp_options table for home and site_url records, and that should be it. I tried that but it only makes changes to home. What about the all the other posts/pages that exist for which the ‘guid’ column in wp_posts table has IP?

    I need to use these both IPs as one is for the customer/client and one is for internal maintenance. I am not allowed to make my internal IP public or use public IP for internal maintenance. Should I need to make changes to all the database entries wherever the IP is recorded? If its only 2 changes I need in wp_options table I can make, but I cannot access any other pages/posts if I just change the two in wp_options.

    Any guidance would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Please never post your issue into a topic with a similar reported issue. Chances are high that your setup is completely different.

    From what I understand, you would like to have the same website on two different IP addresses so that you can do maintenance on one while not affecting the other? If that’s the case then you will need to have two WordPress installations running — each assigned to the unique IP or domain name.

    Thanks for your reply Patrick,

    I understand your solution, but then what I need is to do maintenance/changes/enhancements on the same website. Because if I do maintenance on my internal website, those changes wouldn’t reflect to public right? I need to maintain the same website which is open for public, it’s just that I do not have access to public IP. I have only one server on which I have deployed the website.

    Could you tell me if there is a way to manage website deployed on one server which I can maintain and also publicly accessible?
