First of all i would like to say that i am more of a designer than a developer.
i have a domain name registered on GoDaddy (www.svelteliving.com) and my hosting is on BLUEHOST.com.
i am now hosting my website but the issues is that the website in the adress bar shows the ip (http://69.89.31.99/~svelteli/)
and not the domain name (www.svelteliving.com)
i tried to update my htaccess like below:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.svelteliving.com$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^69.89.31.99
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.svelteliving.com/$1 [R=301,L]
# Use PHP5.4 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteBase /~svelteli/
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /~svelteli/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
This seems to work on the homepage only but when i click on a link in the menu the ip shows up again.
Please help me.
Replace your .htaccess content with the content below. And, just in case, clear your browser’s cache before trying new settings.
