Wordpress with application load balancer resulting in 301 redirect

Question

I have an application load balancer with listener on port 8080. Requests on this listener are forwarded to a target group which has wordpress containers registered on port 80.

Container is launched using ECS (fargate) and has the below container port definition

    PortMappings:
        - ContainerPort: 80
          Protocol: tcp

With above configuration requests to ALB URL on port 8080 ( http://ALBURL:8080 ) are resulting in a redirect to ( http://ALBURL ). If I change the listener port to 80, it works fine.

Is there a wordpress configuration I need to change to use ALB listener on 8080?

This fixed the issue - https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/135343/wordpress-redirecting-connections-on-port-8080-to-80

I had to modify the function.php file in the current theme.
