dsonesuk Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) If i remember rightly you can change skype port to 8080 in settings for such a problem. The trouble is you have to use the new port address to point to your original localhost domain address, either that or create virtual host that will use the domain address but points to localhost:8080. But all this would avoided if you did the other way round and force Skype to use port 8080 instead. https://hemantnemade.wordpress.com/2013/03/29/87/ Edited December 17, 2019 by dsonesuk found link, although it might be outdated?

dsonesuk Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 The problem with wordpress it does not work with relative paths, it uses absolute paths. These absolute paths are saved to the database, therefore you have to make sure the settings match the new port address, and database url also match the new port.

dsonesuk Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I should make backup of wordpress site files and database cuz this could lead to site breaking completely. https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/change-wordpress-url/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
