What Is the Default WordPress Admin URL?
By default, you can reach your WordPress Admin area by using one of the following URLs:
domain.tld/admin
domain.tld/wp-admin
domain.tld/login
domain.tld/wp-login
Where domain.tld is your domain name.
If you installed WordPress on a subdomain, you have two options - both will work:
subdomain.domain.tld/wp-admin or
domain.tld/subdomain/wp-admin
What to Do if the Default WordPress URL Doesn’t Work
First, verify that you have a working WordPress installation. You can use the Whatsmycms tool for that.
Next, check if you have any plugin that can change the wp-admin URL. In that case, you can disable it manually to enable the default URLs.
Other Possible Issues
Incorrect Password
If you encounter issues when logging into your WordPress Admin area, it is recommended to reset your password. In Web Premium and greater hosting plans, you can do so by connecting to your account via SSH.
First, enter the following command to list all of the current users in the WordPress installation:
wp user list
Next, update the password for your preferred user:
wp user update username --user_pass=NewPassword
Replacing username with the actual username and NewPassword with the new, strong password.
