Networking and servers • Re: wordpress site not able to access from external network

Wordpress hard codes the old address (ip?) in some internal tables.
IIRC in the _options table of your website’s database, there are two rows siteurl and homeurl
Maybe check those.

Thank you. That was it.
I logged in to wp-admin console and Settings->General changed WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) to my actual ddns domain name and it worked.

I have another question, if you dont mind.
I want https://<domainname>/wp-admin wp-admin to be opened only from LAN and not via internet. Is that possible be done? I tried creating .htaccess file inside wp-admin folder with LAN ip range mentioned, but its not working.
