How to Find Your WordPress Login Page URL (Easy Guide) 

I’ve had clients call me in a panic because they couldn’t find their WordPress login URL. Without it, you can’t access your dashboard, which means no updates, no content, nothing.

In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to find the WordPress login URL for your site, even if it’s hidden or changed. I’ll also cover how to bookmark it and log in through your hosting account.

TL;DR: How to Find the WordPress Login URL:

• Add /login or /wp-admin to your domain
• Log in directly from your hosting dashboard
• Customize the login page to match your brand
• Fix login URL issues or recover access

But first, why do you need your WordPress login URL?

With this in mind, how do you find your WordPress login screen?

How to Find Your WordPress Login Link

The fastest way to find your login screen is to add /login or /wp-admin to your site’s URL.

Here’s an example of how this would look:

• www.yoursite.com/admin/
• www.yoursite.com/login/

Just replace “yoursite” with your website’s URL, and you’ll see a login screen similar to the one below.

If, for whatever reason, your WordPress login URL isn’t working, you can access your WordPress login screen by visiting this URL:

www.yoursite.com/wp-login.php

In some cases, you might install WordPress in a subdirectory. If this is true for your website, you can access your WordPress login page using these methods:

• www.yoursite.com/wordpress/login/
• www.yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-login.php

Some websites also install WordPress on a sub-domain. In this situation, you can access your WordPress admin login page like this:

• subdomain.yoursite.com/login/
• subdomain.youriste.com/wp-login.php

As soon as you log into WordPress, it redirects you to your website’s WordPress admin area in your wp-admin folder.

It’s also possible to access your WordPress admin area directly with either of these URLs:

• www.yoursite.com/admin/
• www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/

Both of these URLs check if you were logged in previously and if your login session is still active. If this is true, it will redirect you to your WordPress dashboard.

If your session has expired, you’ll head back to the login page.

How to Remember Your WordPress Login Page
