 * Hi,
    Have an odd issue I need to resolve.
 * Am redesigning an existing site, so have installed WP on the new server.
    I’ve
   edited the wp.config file to define the WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL with my temp IP-
   address/~username
 * I can now see the site in the browser fine, but the admin interface is only loading
   html… no css (unsure if php or js are being loaded either)
 * My client will need access to populate the site with me, so need to get the dashboard
   loading properly
 * am I missing a setting somewhere?
 * using chrome’s inspector, and hovering over the links in the `<head>`, it looks
   as though it’s trying to call `http://xx.xx.xxx.xx/~username/xx.xx.xxx.xx/~username/[
   wp-path-to-css]`
    ie…. looks as though it’s doubling up on the temp url (though
   this may just be a bug/feature of the inspectors’ hover function?)

 * Ahhhh… fixed the issue
 * When editing the config file, I entered IP and Username for both
    xx.xx.xxx.xx/
   ~username
 * but…
    didn’t prepend with http://
 * switched both to
    [http://xx.xx.xxx.xx/~username](http://xx.xx.xxx.xx/~username)
 * and now works fine
 * Sorry for pointless post – though maybe this will help someone else out with 
   the same issue !
 * thanks 🙂
