How to Log in to WordPress (Admin Dashboard)

It seems obvious, but how do you log in to WordPress (admin dashboard) to manage your website? The answer is simple.

Log in to WordPress

Navigate to example.com/wp-login.php where example.com is your website domain. Consider using that address if you have installed WordPress on a subdomain or a folder.

For example, it will be alvandwp.com/wp-login.php for this website and alvandwp.com/testing/wp-login.php if I install WordPress on a folder named testing.

Then enter the admin user’s username or email address and password and click the Log In button. You can also tick the Remember Me checkbox to keep you logged in for 14 days.

After logging in, you will be redirected to example.com/wp-admin/ which is the actual address of the WordPress dashboard. Remember example.com is your website domain. Next time you can type this URL if you checked remember me in the previous section to see the admin area.
