   I think you should be able to use HOST and PORT environment variables for this.
   See Advanced Configuration.

   Does this help?

   @gaearon Yes that helps. Thanks.

   The other question I have is: does anyone have any examples/tutorials of how to build only parts of a WordPress theme as a Single Page App instead of the entire website to get the full SEO benefits as discussed in this blog post?
   SEO is a challenge for all websites built as a SPA.

   @olivia101 for SEO i think you could do a user agent switching. It's similar to what prerender.io does. But instead of an external service you could feed the bots to wordpress' own theme engine. I'm building one myself currently.

   I’m going to close as this is not directly actionable in this repo, but feel free to continue the discussion!

   for anyone who needs user agent switching for bots in WordPress / PHP:

   if (
       strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "baiduspider"] !== false ||
       strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "twitterbot"] !== false ||
       strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "facebookexternalhit"] !== false ||
       strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "rogerbot"] !== false ||
       strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "linkedinbot"] !== false ||
       strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "embedly"] !== false ||
       strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "quora link preview"] !== false ||
       strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "showyoubot"] !== false ||
       strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "outbrain"] !== false ||
       strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "pinterest"] !== false ||
       strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "slackbot"] !== false ||
       strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "vkShare"] !== false ||
       strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "W3C_Validator"] !== false ||
       strpos($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"], "Facebot") !== false
   ) {
       //render your server rendered markup for bots
   } else {
       //render your SPA
   }
   

   put this in your theme's index.php
