How To Login To Your WordPress Website or Blog


wplearningsociety.com video on how to login to your WordPress website or blog. Logging into your WordPress site is simple but finding the login page can be tricky if you are new to WP. Once you have WP installed on your hosting account you'll be ready to login to your WordPress dashboard to start getting your hands dirty by learning the functions of your site and getting familiar with how the controls are set up. But how do you login? There are a few options available for getting to the login page of your site. By either using a link or entering the address of the page directly. Many WordPress themes include a login link right on the homepage. For example, Twenty Ten the default theme that comes with every WP install, places a link in the lower right corner of the sidebar. Clicking the "Log in" link will take you straight to your login page. But not all themes include this link or for design reasons you may not want such a link on your site. If that is the case you can enter the log in page's web address (URL) right into your browser by adding after your site's web address. For example I have a test site at turtlemassage.com. To get to the log in page of my site I just go to turtlemassage.com/wp-login.php. Once on your log in page you enter the username and password you created when you installed WordPress to access your dashboard.
