There are a few cases where you might need use a temporary URL to access your Wordpress site so you need to go in and change site_url and home in the WordPress database i.e.
To use the cPanel temporary URL when developing your Wordpress site two updates are required in the Wordpress database.
Using phpMyAdmin which is found in the database section of your cPanel you open the Wordpress database and locate the table wp_options.
In the wp_options table you locate the option_name 'site_url' and change the domain name to your cPanel temporary URL (something like htttp://89.200.138.256/~username) and click Go to save the change.
In the wp_options table you locate the option_name 'home' and change the domain name to your cPanel temporary URL (something like htttp://89.200.138.256/~username) and click Go to save the change.
After this you should be able to view your Wordpress installation using the temporary URL.
