Server on Raspberry Pi device
Server on Raspberry Pi device
You’ve set up your WordPress site on the Raspberry Pi successfully, but when trying to reach it from another device on the same network, you’re getting connection errors. Make sure the server is only listening on the local network and not exposed to the internet. You can also configure your firewall or router settings to block external access while keeping internal communication allowed.
Access the device from another machine on the same network using its real IP address instead of localhost
This clarifies the reason for the denial. It aligns with your expectations.
The problem stems from your Wordpress setup. You informed Wordpress that your server runs on "localhost," which leads to connection failures when accessing site resources like stylesheets. Since localhost refers to the device you're using, you must update the domain to the actual IP address of your Pi and connect there.
