For Docker wp development: Replace loopback requests to localhost with host.docker.internal

enomoto celtislab

Prevents loopback request errors in WordPress environments using Docker such as wp-env.
Replace requests to localhost with host.docker.internal, and if https, change to http and turn off sslverify.
There are no settings. Just enable this plugin.

localhost2host.docker.internal


If you have troubles in local development with wp-env, use this plugin.



In your .wp-env.json , add this plugin's download URL(NOTICE: review comment is not allowed to include URL, add https +:// just before the downloads.wordpress.org 



{    "plugins": [        ".",        "[schema here]downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/localhost2host-docker-internal.latest-stable.zip"    ]}



WordPress' self remote request(e.g. WP-Cron) starts working as expected! Arigato!
