 * hi guys,
 * I have a school project and was tasked to create a simple wordpress website.
 * I installed XAMPP and placed the wordpress folder inside htdocs, then created
   database,etc, etc..
 * so, in short. i manage to make it work, and it runs smoothly on the localhost.
   
   I then decided to access the website on a different host (computer).
 * when viewing on different host, the wordpress page does not load properly. no
   images, no website structure, it only loads the content which is weird.
 * i disabled firewall on both PC. hope you can help me analyze the problem. thanks

 * This is probaly one of the most common “issues” with moving WordPress.
 * The “problem” is that the database stores all of the file associations as hard-
   coded links to the sites URL. Chaing the domain in your admin area only changes
   it for the permalinks, not for any content that’s alreayd in your site.
 * The best tool that I’ve found for fxing this [can be found here](http://interconnectit.com/124/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/).
   Follow the instructions and it will get everything pointing to where it should
   be.

 * hi, thanks for the link..
    but im not much of a techie here. after i placed the.
   php file inside the root folder, im not sure what goes for the “search for” and
   the “replace wwith”
 * btw this site is for internal use only. do i replace the localhost with the IP
   of the PC?

 * “Search For” – the old domain name eg: “[http://localhost&#8221](http://localhost&#8221);
 * “Replace With” – Whatever domain/IP/etc you are going ot use with your live site.
 * If it’s internal and you’re going ot be dunning it from an IP address, then it
   would be something like “[http://123.12.21.123&#8221](http://123.12.21.123&#8221);–
   Remember to always have the http:// in front of it.
