4 Ways to find WordPress Login:<\/h2>\n

1. Log in to Direct WordPress<\/a>
\n2. Log in to Sub Directory<\/a>
\n3. Log in to Sub Domain<\/a>
\n4. Directly Login to WP<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>Logging in to WordPress<\/h3>\n

The login page is where you go to access the backend of your website. Once logged in, you can see your dashboard, create new posts and pages, update themes and add new plugins, as well as make other customizations to your site.<\/p>\n

On a typical WordPress site, all you need to do is add \/login\/<\/code> or \/admin\/<\/code> to the end of your site\u2019s URL.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/p>\n

www.example.com\/login\/<\/code><\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

www.example.com\/admin\/<\/code><\/p>\n

Both of these URLs will take you to your login page where you can enter your username and password. Once logged in, you will be taken directly to the admin area, or dashboard, of your site.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Logging into a Subdirectory<\/h3>\n

If your site is installed in a subfolder or subdirectory, then you need to add \/login\/<\/code> or \/wp-login.php<\/code> to the end of your site\u2019s URL.<\/p>\n

www.example.com\/wordpress\/login\/<\/code><\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

www.example.com\/wordpress\/wp-login.php<\/code><\/p>\n

<\/a>Logging into a Subdomain<\/h3>\n

If your WordPress install is on a subdomain, then your URL will lead with the subdomain name:<\/p>\n

subdomain.example.com\/login\/<\/code><\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

subdomain.example.com\/wp-login.php<\/code><\/p>\n

<\/a>Directly Accessing the WordPress Admin<\/h3>\n

Once logged in, you can directly access the admin area of your site using these URLs:<\/p>\n

www.example.com\/admin\/<\/code><\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

www.example.com\/wp-admin\/<\/code><\/p>\n

Both of these URLs check that you are still logged in to your site and redirect to your site\u2019s admin area.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Methods to Remember Your Login URL<\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t have to remember your login URL by heart. There are a number of ways to save your URL login for handy access at any time.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Save While Surfing<\/h3>\n

The easiest way to ensure you never lose your login URL again is to simply bookmark it in your browser. See below for how to bookmark it in the most popular browsers.<\/p>\n
