I am developing a Wordpress theme that requires testing with multiple devices over my local network. I use the localhost server XAMPP which runs apache on port 80.
When I access my PC's IP (192.168.0.16) port 80 using an iPad, it returns the apache directory of which I have two sites:
site1
wordpress
The first site is a basic php site, this loads perfectly.
The second site is Wordpress, and won't let me access it (see pic).
I have tried changing the setting inside Wordpress:
changing localhost to 192.168.0.16 inside the site and Wordpress address.
Can anyone advise me on what I'm doing wrong?

I've been trying to a website following this Build a LAMP Web Server with WordPress guideline. After completing the "WordPress configuration," the WordPress turn out fine on the local host but not another computer on the same network. Image provided.
Anything help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Hope! You are accessing wordpress project with
http://localhost/wordpress-project/
And while accessing on other computer under same LAN. If you are trying to access with localhost that will not work. Because apache will look this request locally.
And if you are trying to access this with the LAN computer name/IP. like
http://192.168.0.106/wordpress-project/
OR
http://mycomputer1/wordpress-project/
Then you need to change the siteurl & home value in wordpress-project DB table named wp_options from localhost to desired.
If you are accessing with computer name then you may need to set virtual host for that on mycomputer1 PC
I'm trying to make my wordpress website available for others to see using WampServer and ngrok. But when I expose local server to the Internet with 'ngrok http 80' all that people can access is the WampServer admin panel. When they click my wordpress project they get redirected to localhost/wprdpres directory instead of the custom link provided by ngrok.
I can also say that it worked perfectly before I installed a new theme. Is there a way this could have any influance on that?
Some screenshots:
I downloaded my organization's wordpress website to work on a test copy on my local machine (xampp) web server, but when I go to the address http://localhost/ it takes me to the actual live website (https://brightwaterfoundation.org) rather than the one on my machine.... any idea why this is happening?
I have wordpress installed and running in my local machine with Windows and Xampp server. I want to access my site from all machines within my network. I have copied all the files with database dump, but it's not working. Posts, pages, plugins nothing are displaying.
I am new to wordpress, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
If your local Wordpress installation (running on 127.0.0.1) work, is not necessary any modifications.
Just access from computers on LAN with ip machine
192.168.0.1/wordpress <- IP of XAMPP PC.
I'm trying to set up a wordpress blog hosted from my computer using this tutorial. When I visit the site on the computer it's hosted on, via localhost or the IP of the computer, the site looks fine, but when I visit it from another computer it looks like this.
All Wordpress resources (stylesheets and images at least) use Wordpress' URL configuration. You can find it as the 3rd option down in the General Configuration page of your Admin. This is due to the way that themes are to be programmed and create the header of the blog using the bloginfo function that uses those configuration values to generate the rest of them
What is probably happening is that such URL is using either localhost or 127.0.0.1. If that is the case, when accessing the blog from your own PC it would show fine as both do resolve to the local machine. If you access it from an external PC, they would not resolve to the PC that is serving Wordpress but also to the local PC - which is not able to provide them.
