WordPress Admin Login – simply explained
It is common for new users to have trouble finding their login URL after installing a self-hosted WordPress website for the first time. This article will show you a quick and easy way to find your WordPress login URL easily.
Login to WordPress
The login page takes you to the backend of your website. Once you’re logged in, you can view your dashboard, create new posts and pages, update the theme and add new plugins, and make other customizations to your site.
On a typical WordPress site, all you need to do is add /login/ or /admin/ to the end of your site’s URL.
For example: www.beispiel.de/login/ or www.beispiel.de/admin/
Both URLs will take you to your login page where you can enter your username and password. Once you’ve logged in, you’ll be taken straight to your site’s admin panel or dashboard.
Login to a subdirectory
If your website is installed in a subfolder or subdirectory, you need to add /login/ or /wp-login.php to the end of your website’s URL.
For example: www.beispiel.de/wordpress/login/ or www.beispiel.de/wordpress/wp-login.php
Login to a subdomain
If your WordPress installation is on a subdomain, then your login URL will be slightly different:
For example: subdomain.beispiel.de/login/ or subdomain.beispiel.de/wp-login.php
Direct access to the WordPress administration
As soon as you are logged in, you can access the admin area of your website directly via the following URLs: www.beispiel.de/admin/ or www.beispiel.de/wp-admin/
Both URLs check whether you are still logged in to your website and redirect you to the admin area of your website.
