Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Accessing on Local Host from External BrowserNo problem! Just let me know how it works out for you. 🙂
@james4381: I’d recommend the same thing to you, that is, double checking the site url settings. When images don’t work in these instances it’s usually because it’s trying to access them through the wrong URL. If it’s an image in the content of a page or post, it’s very possible that you’ll need to manually change the content to have the image pulled from the right place.
It’s a bit tricky to do this on a phone, but your developer toolbar is invaluable in troubleshooting these kinds of errors. It will show you the requests that are being made should allow you to see what’s going on.
In most browsers you can open the developer toolbar by pressing F12. The section you will want to refer to is either “Network” or “Console”.
Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Accessing on Local Host from External BrowserHi Garry,
What it sounds like what may be happening is that your WordPress installation still has its site url set to a location that is not accessible from your phone. Or that the URLs for these theme/images files are otherwise set up to be something your phone cannot access.
Could you let me know what your siteurl and home url are set to, and also what the url is you are using to access the installation from your phone?
To find out what urls they are set to, you will want to log in to WordPress and head over to the General Settings page (Settings -> General). On this page you will see two settings called “WordPress Address (URL)” and “Site Address (URL)”.
Should those be different from what you use to give external access to the site (ie. the url that loads the page, but not the theme files/images), you will want to change both of those settings.
Generally speaking, if you intend on accessing the site from a device other than your “localhost” computer you will want to make sure to at least use the IP address or a different hostname as your site url.
Let me know if you have any more questions or need any more help resolving this issue!

Forum: Alpha/Beta/RC
In reply to: Can't get to network admin with keyboardI’m fairly new at all this for WordPress and figured I’d use this new RC as a jump in point to contribute. So nope, I don’t. 🙂
If you can direct me how, even if it’s just a page that tells me, I’m sure I can figure it out though.

In reply to: Can't get to network admin with keyboardDoesn’t look like it did, actually. 3.9.2 seems to have the same issue.
