Access WP site using IP Address

Hi guys,

I have a requirement to access my WP site using IP Address instead of domain name.
Currently the WP site is configured by another vendor just using default config, which is accessible only using https://<domain-name>.com.

When i hit the browser using https://<ip-address> , it forces to show the Plesk Administrator Login panel.

Is there any way to access the WP site using https://<ip-address> instead?

Thanks

You could try adding this quick override to your WordPress wp-config.php file:

update_option( 'siteurl', 'http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' );
update_option( 'home', 'http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' );

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your ip address

That override cannot work as it does not change how the web server treats requests. The websites on the server are named virtual hosts. These require a domain name.

IP Addresses Management / (Plesk for Linux) Assign the default website to an IP address ?

Hi guys,
thanks for the responses.

@Bitpalast is correct, the override suggested by @nmdpa3 is not working.

I am about to try what is suggested by @AYamshanov..
