Wordpress will only fully load on localhost

css, localhost, render, wordpress

Solution

The way to make a localhost install work on other computers on the network you need to do a couple things.

The localhost needs a dedicated address either IP or fake domain.

WordPress needs to be configured with that address

the other machines need to be told where that address is, usually in the hosts configuration file like

192.168.30.1 wp.dev

where the above is an network IP assigned to your localhost with WAMP and wp.dev is the fake dev domain. This pretty much needs to be set on all machines so they know where the host lives.

Problem

I have recently set up wordpress on my wamp server and when loading up the webpage through localhost it will always fully load up the entire page but when i try to access the webpage through anyother computer (even if the computer is connected to LAN ) it will only render like an HTML template, no pictures are rendered, only the box outlines, It appears that the site is not loading up css files while online, but then i am wondering why it would work on the local host. I have tried re installing wordpress from wordpress.org, and fully looked at the instructions and have tried to look online for some answers, but came up blank computer information: WAMP server Dreamweaver *could the problem be from dreamweaver during the site set up?
