Caution

"Only do this when your service is broken or IP address has been changed!"

The following changes do not need to be made if everything is in order. However, it is good to note these, because these things are most often broken.

Bash

sudo nano /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-config.php
//#Go to second line of configuration and add new lines :

define('WP_HOME','http://MachineIP/wordpress');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://MachineIP/wordpress');

Language setting correction¶

PHP

define('DB_COLLATE', 'utf8_swedish_ci');

sudo find /var/www/html/wordpress/ -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
sudo find /var/www/html/wordpress/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
