Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: Access my WordPress site from another pc on same networkThis is excellent info, how would this be done for mobile devices? that obviously don’t have an hosts file to edit…
When I installed WP it chose localhost as the domain, how can this be resolved on a mobile device?
Thanks

In reply to: wp development thru wifi not serving anything localhost referencedOK I have found a solution, I am posting this here for anybody else who wishes to test wp via subnet wifi.
Follow the instructions here
Doesn’t matter which localhost your running just follow the instructions at the end for wordpress.
My site now runs on all my devices, Nice.

In reply to: wp development thru wifi not serving anything localhost referencedOK the saga continues.
As I said in a previous post I have renamed my localhost to dev.com I now access wp via wifi in a browser using 192.168.1.x/wp_theme_builder I still don’t get scripts, images and styles but now they are listed as 404’s and not err_connection_refused.
Anybody have any idea how to fix this?

In reply to: wp development thru wifi not serving anything localhost referencedOK I have renamed localhost to dev.com in my hosts file, now both my wp url’s read
‘http://dev.com/wp_theme_builder’
But the problem remains when accessing via wifi on 192.168.1.4/wp_theme_builder
This is bizzare!

In reply to: wp development thru wifi not serving anything localhost referencedPerhaps you could try to recreate my situation.
Connect an android device to your wifi, open a browser enter 192.168.1.4/path_to_a_wordpress_install in the address bar and see what gets returned. I get everything except those served from localhost such as images, styles and scripts.
Thanks

In reply to: wp development thru wifi not serving anything localhost referencedYes I did, I have renamed the urls with variations of my wp install name:
wp_theme_builder with and without localhost in the url.I am not trying to move the install, I am trying to test my site on android devices to see how they function and look with respect to the desktop version before release.

In reply to: wp development thru wifi not serving anything localhost referencedHi esmi
Thanks for the info, I changed both urls by using the functions.php method. Complete meltdown, desktop now has the same problem. Also couldn’t login, changed back to original urls.
I am not really sure what I’m supposed to name them given that I have wp installed in my htdocs folder on my local dev machine. I will still have to connect using localhost/whatever/ which is served by xampp.
