# Theme / CSS not rendering in remote browser

 * I am stumped.
 * I have installed WP on IIS 7 everything works and renders fine on the local machine.
   However when I access the site from a remote browser (I’ve tried IE, Chrome, 
   FF, Safari)the theme / CSS won’t render.
 * I’ve searched around and I haven’t found anything that has helped yet.
 * Could this be a file / directory permission issue?
 * You can view the site at……. [http://50.22.178.237/](http://50.22.178.237/)

 * That’s because we don’t have access to localhost.
    When referencing sources in
   URLs, try to use
 *     ```
       /wp-content/themes/yourThemename/etcetera/yourfile.png
       ```
   
 * instead of
 *     ```
       http://localhost/wp-content/themes...
       ```

 * It sounds like an issue with your local server, rather than WordPress.

 * I fixed this.
 * As it turns out, you need to set the “WordPress Address (URL)” to the website
   address in my case this was the public IP address of my WP install.
 * Go to SETTINGS> GENERAL ……then set “WordPress Address (URL)” to the required 
   Public URL or Public IP address if temporary.
