Publishing wordpress site through webserver protection strips every design, features and graphic display

I've created a wordpress site that's working fine on internal network. Through webserver protection I want publish it publicly and used the setup articles for that in teh knowledge based. Everything seems to work, except for one big problem: It is published and displayed in test only. All designs, featurs, headers, etc. are stripped. So it is unusable for the public.

Any ideas what can cause this? Must be something in the UTM, because on internal network the website is working and looking fine.

  • Maybe WordPress is using absolute URLs for CSS and stuff? Check the page source delivered by WAF! If you spot the hostname of your internal server you have to enable HTML rewriting in the advanced section of your virtual web server. Note that you need a DNS host object for the real webserver to make HTML rewriting work. A simple host object won't do.

  • Hi, that helped a lot. Especially the creation of a DNS host. Didn't know about that and I just created a normal network host.

    The only thing I can see going wrong now is that pictures on the website in woocommerce for products are not showing at all and icons I use in icon grid boxes (using the Kallyas theme) or exchanged for totally different other icons. Never seen that before.

    On the internal network everything is looking as it should, so I guess there is another setting that has to be changed in the WAF. Any ideas??
