Difference between wp_siteurl and wp_home

2 comments

1. WP_SITEURL is a base url for resources: images, stylesheets, etc.

   WP_HOME is where WP thinks site root url is (a base URL for links)

   Example:
   I had to integrate WP blog into my rails site, so i configured nginx to route all requests to /blog to WordPress, while all other requests went to my rails app. So I set WP_HOME to mydomain.com for WP links to work correctly, but I had to set WP_SITEURL to mydomain.com/blog for WP static assets to be found inside WP directory.

2. Lets consider your awesome website’s domain name is –

   http://www.myawesomesite.com
   

   Now one fine day you want to start a blog at this location –

   http://www.myawesomesite.com/myniceblog
   

   Now, answering your question –

   WP_SITEURL = http://www.myawesomesite.com  //Your awesome wesbite's domain name
   WP_HOME = http://www.myawesomesite.com/myniceblog  //Your awesome blog's homepage path
