If you installed WordPress using the DreamHost WordPress installer, you can log in by clicking the Manage WordPress button (described above) or by using the following steps in the panel:

  1. Navigate to the Manage Websites page.
  2. Click the Manage button to open the Domain Settings page, which allows you to adjust various settings for your site.
    • If in Grid view, click the Manage button at the bottom of the website box.
    • If in List view, click the Manage button at the far right of your domain name.
  3. In the WordPress section, click the Manage button to log into your dashboard.

If you are directed to your wp-login page instead, then navigate to the Contact Support page and use the DreamPress category to submit a support ticket.
