http://www.domain.com/wp-admin > Settings > General *If your IP address appears here, you need to update it to your domain name. *

WordPress Address (URL) – http://www.domain.com Site Address (URL) – http://www.domain.com

This is assuming the DNS for the domain name is pointed at the droplet and entered correctly to apache.
