At Tampa Bay Website Design, we understand the importance of securing your website from potential threats. One of the ways we help protect your site is by customizing the default WordPress admin login URL for our clients. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the process of logging in to your WordPress admin dashboard, whether you have a standard /wp-admin/ URL or a custom one provided by our team.

Logging in to the Standard WordPress Admin Dashboard

For most WordPress websites, the admin login URL follows the standard format: yourdomain.com/wp-admin/. To log in to your WordPress admin dashboard, follow these steps:

      1. Open your web browser and type your website’s URL, followed by /wp-admin/ (e.g., yourdomain.com/wp-admin/).

      2. Press Enter or Return on your keyboard to access the login page.

      3. Enter your WordPress admin username and password.

      4. Click the “Log In” button or press Enter/Return on your keyboard.

You should now have access to your WordPress admin dashboard, where you can manage your website’s content, appearance, and functionality.

If your website was custom-designed by Tampa Bay Website Design, we’ve taken additional security measures to protect your site from bots and hackers. Instead of using the default /wp-admin/ folder, we provide a uniquely named folder for your admin login URL.

To log in to your custom WordPress admin dashboard, follow these steps:

      1. Locate the custom admin login URL provided to you by our team. If you’re unsure of the URL, please contact us for assistance.

      2. Open your web browser and type your website’s URL, followed by the custom folder name (e.g., yourdomain.com/custom-folder-name/).

      3. Press Enter or Return on your keyboard to access the login page.

      4. Enter your WordPress admin username and password.

      5. Click the “Log In” button or press Enter/Return on your keyboard.

You should now have access to your custom WordPress admin dashboard, where you can manage your website’s content, appearance, and functionality.
