How To Change The IP Address For Your Custom Server

If the IP Address for your custom server changes, you will need to change it in two locations in WPCD.

The first place you need to change it is in the SETTINGS for the cloud provider as follows:

  • Go to the WPCLOUDDEPLOYSETTINGSCLOUD PROVIDERS tab
  • Click on the tab for your custom server
  • Change the IP Address field
  • Click the SAVE SETTINGS button at the bottom of the screen.

The next place that needs to be updated is the SERVER record itself.  To do this, you first need to expose some advanced data entry fields:

  • Go to the WPCLOUDDEPLOYSETTINGSMISC tab
  • Scroll down to the SHOW ADVANCED METABOXES section
  • Enable the checkbox
  • Click the SAVE SETTINGS button at the bottom of the screen.

Then update the SERVER record as follows:

  • Navigate to WPCLOUDDEPLOYCLOUD SERVERS
  • Locate and click on your server record
  • Scroll down until you find the SERVER DETAILS box
  • Update the IPv4 ADDRESS field (and, if applicable, the IPv6 ADDRESS field)
  • Click the UPDATE button in the upper right of the screen.

Finally, disable the ADVANCED METABOXES settings:

  • Go to the WPCLOUDDEPLOYSETTINGSMISC tab
  • Scroll down to the SHOW ADVANCED METABOXES section
  • Disable the checkbox
  • Click the SAVE SETTINGS button at the bottom of the screen.
