Need to access wordpress site only using ip address

1

let’s first tell you the situation.

  • my website running on domain A, I want to move my website from server A to B but still use the domain A

the problem is, i want to do the live migration, but as long as can’t change nameserver (my website is live) for current domain I can’t access the WordPress dashboard,

is there anything I can do?

Use your system’s hosts file to override the DNS.

Don’t forget to remove the hosts file entry when you are done using it.
