Posted on October 22, 2014

Hello, I just joined digitalocean and created a virtual host with wordpress(used the one click install). I followed the tutorial and now when i try to access the site, the domain works but all internal links point to IP. My DO looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/iEs7qZ9.png The test site link is : southparkromania[dot]com If I need to give any more info, tell me :).

This will be a database issue.

You’ll need to modify the database for your site, and find all columns in wp_options that are set to ‘http://YOUR_IP’ and change them to ‘http://YOUR_DOMAIN’

something like this (this is merely an example – DO NOT COPY/PASTE THIS):

UPDATE wp_options SET option_value='http://domain.com' WHERE option_value='http://1.2.3.4';
