Wordpress API key problems

Trying to install some plug-ins requiring an API key on the local copy of my site. This message appears:

Error from last API Key attempt:

Bad site URL. IPs (192.168.0.100) are not allowed. Move to a domain and then try again.

Is there a workaround?

Hi,

If you need a domain name you can try the following:

1. Include a line in the “hosts” file like:

myhostname 127.0.0.1

This file is “/etc/hosts” on Linux or OS X and “c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts” on Windows.

2. Modify the wordpress hostname in the configuration pannel to “myhostname”

3. Restart the application and access at http://myhostname/wordpress

I hope it helps
