How to log into your WordPress site

Overview

You can log into your WordPress site two ways — the WordPress login URL (example.com/wp-login.php) or the Manage button on the WordPress tab of the Manage Websites page in your DreamHost panel. This article explains both.

How do I log into my site?

You are able to log in using the WordPress login page or within the DreamHost panel. 

How do I use the login URL?

You can log into any WordPress site at the following address:

• example.com/wp-login.php

How do I log in from the panel?

After you install WordPress using the installer, you can log into your WordPress site through the panel:

1. Navigate to the Manage Websites page.
2. Click the Manage button to open Website settings, which allows you to modify various configurations 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. Click the WordPress tab.

   If you have one or more DreamHost WordPress installations in subdirectories (such as example.com/blog), click the Managing dropdown and select the installation you want to manage. 

   The settings and options that display apply only to the selected install.

4. In the WordPress section, click the Manage button to log in to your dashboard.
   
   The WP-Admin dashboard page opens for your WordPress site.
