Unexpected behavior when trying to manually install WordPress on macOS Sierra
Thanks to Jacob P. for pointing me in the right direction. The fix was simple once I saw that the site was not serving CSS resources. Since my site was indeed using https (and not http), simply changing the following in wp-config.php: define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://www.my.server.com‘); define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://www.my.server.com‘); To (note the https): define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://www.my.server.com’); define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://www.my.server.com’); solved the problem for me.
