I have a droplet with wordpress running for the domain: randrooots.com ip address: http://104.236.96.95/
My Zone file: $ORIGIN randroots.com. $TTL 1800 randroots.com. IN SOA ns1.digitalocean.com. hostmaster.randroots.com. 1423320920 10800 3600 604800 1800 randroots.com. 1800 IN NS ns1.digitalocean.com. randroots.com. 1800 IN NS ns2.digitalocean.com. randroots.com. 1800 IN NS ns3.digitalocean.com. randroots.com. 1800 IN A 104.236.96.95 randroots.com. 1800 IN AAAA 2604:a880:800:10::1 www.randroots.com. 1800 IN CNAME randroots.com. *.randroots.com. 1800 IN CNAME www.randroots.com. beta.randroots.com. 1800 IN A 105.236.96.95
I’ve read through many tutorials but have been unable to resolve the issue myself. When I change the settings within wordpress for Site/Home URL I’m no longer able to to login to my site. I believe I may need to make further changes under mysql and php admin? I’ve also seen some suggestions regarding needing to add a server alias to Apache?
Is there any additional info I need to provide?
Can someone please describe the proper process to go through in detail?
I know I’ve seen a lot of people with this very issue, it may prevent the question from being asked a lot if a definitive guide could be posted.

Hi!
Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard and navigate to Settings -> General. You should see two fields named “WordPress address (URL)” and “Site address (URL)”, replace your Droplet’s IP address with your domain name.
