Updating a WordPress site after changing the server TAN addressΒΆ

WordPress is a popular website builder; we use it to deliver content via networks secured by Connect.

A change in the TAN address of the server hosting the WordPress content may lead to some assets being inaccessible. This is fixed by updating the siteurl and home entries in the WordPress database.

For example, if the new TAN address of the site is 100.64.2.97:

Open the database monitor:

sudo mysql -u root

Update the entries in the WordPress database:

use wordpress
update wp_options set option_value = 'http://100.64.2.97' where option_name = 'siteurl';
update wp_options set option_value = 'http://100.64.2.97' where option_name = 'home';

Now your WordPress site should be fully accessible at the new URL.
