Change ports on a WordPress installation

Changing the ports of a WordPress site can be done using the following steps.

MAMP

The following example is using a WordPress site that was originally made using Apache port 8888.

MAMP

Login to the admin section of your WordPress site.

MAMP

Go to the general settings.

MAMP

Remove :8888 from the Site Address and WordPress Adress fields. ( When using port 80 you do not need to use :80)

MAMP

Save your settings, you will now not be able to access your site.

MAMP

Change your Apache port on the Ports tab in MAMP PRO to 80, restart your servers.

MAMP

You should now be able to navigate to your site on your new Apache port.
