WordPress Access Before Domain Propagation

[benaust]

Hi

I am trying to access a WordPress install under Plesk Obsidian.

I have added the domain under my Plesk and installed the WordPress from the Kit. But the domain is still pointing to the old server since it is in use and I am just preparing the new site. I like to point the domain after the site is fixed, but now I am not able to access the site to design and fix it.

In cPanel I could access the site before propagation, but I tried few thing and I am not sure how. I looked through the forum, but was not successful, can anyone help please.

Thanks

Ben

Wordpress needs a functioning domain to be accessible. This can be different from the final location. You could for example create a website on a test domain and later migrate it to the real domain. Wordpress stores its own domain in the "siteurl" and "home" datasets in the *_options-table (wp_options).
