Access WordPress site running on localhost through localtunnel

1. I don’t have a ton of experience with localtunnel but Forward does support WordPress, and has an faq on how to get it working: https://forwardhq.com/support/faq#how-do-i-use-forward-with-wordpress, it might help you track down your issue… or at least give you another option.

2. Put this in your wp-config:

   /* THIS IS CUSTOM CODE CREATED AT ZEROFRACTAL TO MAKE SITE ACCESS DYNAMIC */
   /* WORKS FOR LOCALTUNNEL!!!!!! */
   
   $currenthost = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
   $currentpath = preg_replace('@/+$@','',dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']));
   $currentpath = preg_replace('//wp.+/','',$currentpath);
   define('WP_HOME',$currenthost.$currentpath);
   define('WP_SITEURL',$currenthost.$currentpath);
   define('WP_CONTENT_URL', $currenthost.$currentpath.'/wp-content');
   define('WP_PLUGIN_URL', $currenthost.$currentpath.'/wp-content/plugins');
   define('DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', $currenthost.$currentpath );
   define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH', './');
   define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
   define( 'WP_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE', 'local' );
   

   I’ve used this successfully without WP_CONTENT_URL, WP_PLUGIN_URL, and ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH, but including them here because they were in the original code found here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/179559/relative-or-dynamic-site-url-possible
