About this plugin
Expose a WordPress local web server to the internet ngrok allows you to expose a web server running on your local machine to the internet.
This plugin works by hooking to the start and end of the page creation and capturing it into an output buffer, it then uses the URL from the database for a str_replace, stripping it out before sending back out to the shutdown hook. This means that I can share either the HTTP or HTTPS versions of the ngrok URLs.
How To Use
Step One: Install ngrok
com/download
Step Two: Install WP-NGROK
- Upload wp-ngrok.zip folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
-
run command in your terminal
test 8888
Step Three: Creating the localtunnel
Send through the host name of the site that we use locally as well as the port number and this will then direct the traffic to my local site. This works whether we had created it, or using something like MAMP Pro to set this up for me.
localhost 8888
Once ngrok is up and running I will be presented with the display that you can see below
io -> http://localhost:8888
