    Hey,
    I will explain the setup first and then will mention the problem.
    I downloaded wordpress 5.7.1 from wordpress.org. I took a server with Windows server 2012 installed. I installed Xampp 8.0.7 in it. I extracted the wordpress from zip file and copied the folder in htdocs. I opened Mozilla browser, typed ‘https://localhost/wordpress’ and proceeded with the installation.
    The problem : When I m attempting to access the wordpress from another pc, I m typing in Mozilla browser ‘http://(ip address of server)/wordpress’, it is automatically redirecting me to ‘http://localhost/wordpress’.
    Apart from wordpress, if by same method I m accessing other folders from htdocs folder, for eg xampp [http://(ip address of server)/xampp] or limesurvey [http://(ip address of server)/limesurvey], I can access them. Just with the wordpress, it is redirecting to localhost.

    Kindly guide.

    You are in the wrong forum as we can’t help with sites using the open source wordpress.org. You get support at https://wordpress.org/support/
