 * Hello everyone!
    I am using WordPress to deploy a website hosted on Oracle Cloud(
   Oracle Linux 7.9). I installed it, got the domain _[ redundant link removed ]_,
   used certbot to enable SSL on the domain, and developed the website in WordPress.
 * The thing I need to do is to use my domain name for the URL instead of the IP
   address. I am trying to change the site URL in settings, without changing the
   link for the installation directory.
 * However, the site either loads without images, or does not load other than basic
   untidy text.
    And Jetpack stops working, too, giving an error.
 * How to use my domain for the URL? Please I need a reliable method that does not
   knock me out – because I tinkered a bit before and lost those website by getting
   signed out of the dashboard and being unable to log back in, and so I have repeated
   the work many times and no longer looking to do it one more time.
    P.S. I don’t
   have ftp access so be careful 🙂
