As a website owner, it is important you request for the website login details from the website developer. In most cases you have the username and password but don’t know to access the wordpress login url?
Yea, i understand that feeling especially when you are not so good with techs.
By default It’s very simple to access your WordPress admin dashboard through the common WordPress login url, all you have to do is go to:
WordPress Login URL for main domain:
yourwebsite.com/login or
yourwebsite.com/wp-admin
WordPress Login URL for sub-directory:
yourwebsite.com/path/login or
yourwebsite.com/path/wp-admin
For instance, we installed wordpress on a sub-directory (/diy) so to access the WordPress login url: ogastartup.com/diy/wp-admin
WordPress Login Url for sub domain:
Let’s say we installed wordpress on a sub domain,
Diy.ogastartup.com, the WordPress login url by default will be diy.ogastartup.com/login
Yay, you just did it but do you know this very simple method isn’t secured, I’m not trying to make you feel scared but anyone could access this login url which makes your site open for hacks and unauthorized access.
