Web server: external connections get back the LAN ipIP instead of the webpage

I'm trying to set up a simple web server with my raspberry piPi. I have a wordpressWordPress installation on apacheApache and it works well. (I can see the website when I access the pi's lanPi's LAN IP on my home network).

I set my router, (Vigin Media Hub 2), to assign a specific IP. (saySay 192.168.0.20) to the piPi based on it's macMAC address and set up port forwarding to thatthe port that goes to 192.168.0.20.

Here is the odd thing: if I try to connect to the server from an outside network, the external IP will resolve to the local IP (192.168.0.20) of the piPi. So, of course, it can't connect since 192.168.0.20 isn't a WAN IP.

Can anyone advise me on what could be going wrong?
