WordPress Displaying Basic HTML

I ran into this when first attempting to publish this very site

When I viewed the newly setup WordPress site with my local IP address I was seeing the site how I expected with the full themes and layout but then when I attempted to view via my external IP or external DNS I was receiving a basic HTML version of the webpage

The solution ended up being pretty simple setting the WordPress address URL and Site address to be the correct DNS address.

In my case blog.youdontevenrealize.com for both the site correctly renders externally.



This was surprisingly hard to find any information and wanted to put a quick tip out there
