Why my domain gets translated to ip address in the browser url bar?

January 31, 2017 1k

Nginx PHP DNS

By:

varni

My domain name: knowledgethurst.com

namespace is set to

ns1.digitalocean.com
ns2.digitalocean.com
ns3.digitalocean.com

I have created A Record
with

knowledgethurst.com with points to my digitalocean server address.

But when I try to access knowledgethurst.com it gets translated to ip address into browser window.

Can anyone please guide me in the right direction?

Thanks...

My first thought is that in your WordPress General Settings, you've set an IP address instead of your domain name.

That'd be my first guess, especially if WordPress was setup from the IP first and the domain was pointed afterwards.
