I don’t know whether to post this here or on Synology’s page, so I will try both with the hope that someone can help me.
I want to host a website on my synology using wordpress. I access my synology via a Tailscale “magic dns” address. If I set the wordpress URL and the site URL to my Tailscale address, *some* things work. I can publish content using the wordpress admin portal. I can access the homepage created by wordpress using my domain name. However, when wordpress creates links/urls it creates Tailscale addresses that obviously don’t resolve outside of my Tailscale network.
Then I tried to change the wordpress url and the site url to my domain name and everything broke. I could access the homepage created by wordpress using my domain name but completely lost access to the admin page as it would no longer resolve at all.
I don’t know whether this matters or not, and if it does not, apologies for the superfluous information, but I am new to wordpress and hosting websites at all on my synology. the folder structure I have set up is that in the “root” web folder I have 4 sub folders, each for different domains hosted on my synology. In my “web packages” folder is where the /wordpress/ folder resides.
In Synology Web Station settings, I have 4 portals set up. 3 of which use a “web service” pointing to a “root” directory within the “web” folder and the 4th, the troublesome one, the wordpress portal uses WordPress as its web “service.”
I tried setting the wordpress URL to my tailscale address and the site address as my domain name but was then unable to “publish” content within WordPress. Instead, it just kept saying “failed to publish. you may be offline.” I am guessing there is a simple fix here with DNS settings or using different URLs in wordpress settings, but I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Please someone help.
