How to Log In to WordPress

Published: July 31, 2023

The good news about WordPress is that there are many different ways to log in!

To log in to your WordPress administration settings you can follow any of these steps:


Via /wp-login.php:

  1. Navigate to yourdomain.com/wp-login.php in your web browser. Replace “yourdomain.com with your actual website’s domain.
  2. You will see a login form. Enter your username or email address in the first field.
  3. Enter your password in the second field.
  4. Click the “Log In” button.


Via /wp-admin:

  1. Navigate to yourdomain.com/wp-admin in your web browser. Again, replace “yourdomain.com” with your actual website’s domain.
  2. If you’re not already logged in, this will redirect you to the wp-login.php page.
  3. Enter your username or email address and password as above, and click “Log In”.


Via cPanel and Installatron or WP-Toolkit:

  1. Log in to your cPanel.
  2. Go to Installatron or WP-Toolkit installation.
  3. Click the yourdomain.com/wp-admin link present in the installation card.


In all cases, you’ll be taken to the WordPress Admin Dashboard after logging in. This is the administration area where you can manage all aspects of your WordPress site, including creating posts, pages, and comments, managing media files, and adjusting website settings.


If you’ve forgotten your password, you can reset it by clicking the “Lost your password?” link on the login page, or change it via the cPanel and Installatron Application Settings.
