Hi guys, I am trying to install a new Wordpress. I want to view the website and get the plugins installed before I move the site over from the old server. In order for me to do that I need to set up the new site. In previous servers, I could view the install via a direct link to the home directory. …

You can view via the Softaculous Installation details

I tried that, but it loads the proper domain so it is taking me to the current (old) website. I need to install the plugins on the new Wordpress install on infinityfree.com

[Screenshot 2025-02-01 175247] As you can see, there is no obvious way to see how to load the root URL to view the website outside of the domain URL. If it is obvious, I cannot figure it out.

InfinityFree doesn’t support those cPanel styled preview URLs.

Then how can I install the website? This is silly. What changed?

Okay genius. I’ve done that. Now I want to configure the website through the admin panel. But every time I click on the login to the admin area, it goes to the current/old server. So how do I configure the existing one so I can upload the old one’s settings and overwrite the defaults.

Okay. I think I figured it out. I have two different accounts. One I have with these guys is Premium. This is not that account. I will log into that account and retry. If that works, then I will return here and let you know.

Yes. I used IFastNet and bought premier for $20 a year. That’s what I want to use. I think that these guys are the same people. So now that I figured that out, I have another issue. Always one thing.
