Every page turns my url into an IP address (Ubuntu Web Server)

Question

This can probably be fixed quite easily. I tried to research and find the answer to this but couldn't find anything relevant.

Basically, I can access my website perfectly through its url. (ex. example.com)

Whenever I click a link, go to my /wp-admin, or go to any other page, my domain changes into the IP address. (ex. instead of showing example.com/about it would show 192.111.223.4/about)

How do I fix this? Do I have to edit a file or can this be fixed by adding a domain record?

Thanks.

Can you post the virtualhost config block? – Dan Lowe Nov 16 '15 at 01:42 — Dan Lowe, Nov 16 '15 at 01:42

Since you mention /wp-admin, chances are this is WordPress's doing.

In wp-config.php, update or add:

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

Sort of. I just found the answer by going to Settings>>General and then changing the site url and address to my domain. I appreciate your help! – Doug Beney Nov 16 '15 at 02:13
@exoro Yeah, that does the same thing, just via the UI. :) – ceejayoz Nov 16 '15 at 02:38

This one is useful if you can't get into the WordPress admin because of the redirects. – Michael Hampton May 22 '19 at 18:11

Solved!

Phew... This was a simple fix.

In the Wordpress dashboard I went to Settings>>General and then changed WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) into my actual domain instead of an IP.
