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

Most newcomers to WordPress have the same question, “How do I login into WordPress?”. If you can’t find your WordPress login page URL, you cannot work on your website and make the changes needed to grow your business.

In this article, we’ll show you how to find your WordPress login URL, how to bookmark it, and different ways to log into your WordPress admin area.

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

For most WordPress websites, finding your login screen is relatively straightforward. All you need to do is add /login or /admin to the end of your website’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 Customize the WordPress Login Page
