How Do I Log In to My Website’s Admin Dashboard? (WordPress)

Accessing your WordPress admin dashboard is the first step to managing your website’s content, plugins, users, and settings. Here’s a simple guide to help you log in.

1. Open Your Browser

Use a web browser such as Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari.

2. Go to the Login Page

In your browser’s address bar, type the following:

https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin

Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name (for example: example.com/wp-admin).

You can also use:

https://yourdomain.com/wp-login.php

3. Enter Your Credentials

You will see the WordPress login screen with fields for:

• Username or Email Address
• Password

Enter the login credentials provided to you when your site was created.

4. Click “Log In”

Once your details are entered, click the “Log In” button.

If everything is correct, you will be taken to your WordPress Dashboard.

Troubleshooting Tips

Forgot Your Password?

Click the “Lost your password?” link on the login page to reset it.

Getting a “404 Not Found” Error?

• Make sure you typed the URL correctly.
• Confirm that your WordPress site is properly installed.
• Your login page might be customized or hidden for security. Contact support if unsure.

Security Plugins Blocking Access?

Some sites use security plugins (like Wordfence or iThemes Security) that may rename or restrict access to the login page. If your login URL has been customized, check with your web administrator or contact us.
