    Hello,

    I’m totally new to wordpress so i don’t know if i’m making any sense.

    I designed a website ( local ) and used a webserver for the database (mamp)
    Now I would like to share the website with my colleagues in our network.
    Is their any possibility without the need to hoste it somewhere..?

    Somebody told me my colleague had to type:
    http://ipadressofmycomputer:8888/wordpress
    in the browser but then all the images are missing … their is only the text of the website.

    This is likely because your sites stored URL is localhost/wordpress … you need to update WordPress’ site/home URL in Settings > General to the URL you are giving your colleagues so that it loads all the theme assets over the right URL.

    Then you can use something like this plugin to replace all the old URLs in your content with URLs to the new URL so all other links and images work right.
