Cannot get ngrok to serve up my WordPress site


As @Magico stated, download from the repo https://github.com/jonathanbardo/WP-Ngrok-Local and place that in your plugins directory, activate the plugin.

Then, after you get your ngrok tunnel URL up & running, take that URL and place it in your wp-config.php as follows:

define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.ngrok.io/' );define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://example.ngrok.io/' );

Now you will be able to access the homepage as well as the admin dashboard.


According to the faq:

You can start ngrock setting your virtual host and your port with this command:

ngrok http -host-header=dev.yoursite 8080

and then install and activate only one of these plugin to navigate with relative urls
