WordPress Basics-Logging In and Changing Passwords


There are two methods of logging in to WordPress

  • From the Blog Page- Most blog templates include a login link on the blog pages themselves so if you go to any page of the blog you can use the link to login and manage the blog.

     Unless you have multiple blog authors it is normal to remove this link and so it isn't guaranteed to be present.
  • Go direct to the admin Page-
    This is located normally at: domainname/wp-admin,blog.domainname/wp-admin or domainname/wordpress/wp-admin. It depends on how you install Wordpress.
  • Examples: blog.build-your-website.co.uk/wp-admin, and www.copeconsulting.co.uk/wp-admin

The default user created by the install is called admin.

You can create additional users (covered later). The password is given on the install screen when you install, and you should change it as soon as possible to one you can remember.
