Any ideas on the difference between https://mysite/wp-admin vs https://mysite/wp-login?
Thanks.
Actually both URLs will let you login into your site's dashboard.
However, they are different:
While wp-login (which should be wp-login.php) is a php file in the root folder which returns the form to login into your WordPress, wp-admin is one of the three default folders (wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes) which contains internal files such as libraries and scripts.
So, if you haven't logged in yet, by going to wp-admin you will be redirected to yoursite.domain/wp-login.php?redirect_to=... If you are already logged in, by going to wp-login it will show you once again the form to access, and wp-admin will take you directly to your dashboard.
wp-admin redirects to wp-login.php. I.e. there is only one admin log in page.
Both of these URLs will redirect to the WordPress login page. If your 'wp-login' url is not working properly you can use another one 'wp-admin'.

So, I'm making this wordpress website.
I've got full access to the entire cPanel.
I install wordpress, and the domain is always redirecting me to this stupid page.
Here you have the public_html folder.
And when I try to access the Wordpress Admin panel through cPanel, it gives me this random link and redirects me back the page I meantioned earlier.
Any help?
When I try to reach admin panel by wp-admin, asking me username and password but afterwords redirects me to my-account page and cannot go to admin panel. Is there anyone help on this item?
You can also check the .htaccess file via FTP on the server for the offending redirect rule.
Otherwse, it is likely a plugin causing the redirect, try logging into the server via FTP and renaming the plugin folder, then create a new plugin folder and sequentially add each plugin back into the new folder, and test, until you find the culprit.
I have a wordpress website in my ubuntu server. Eg, my website url is
xyz.com. when i'm trying to access wp-admin page it should be xyz.com/wp-admin. But it redirect to another url like xyz.com/xyz/wp-admin
Can anyone give solution for this issue?
Wordpress admin dashboard is /wp-admin from whatever directory your website is installed.
For instance, you have a website https://dijofrancis.com and wp is installed in the root directory then your admin url is https://dijofrancis.com/wp-admin
If you paste your .htaccess file (situated at the root of your webserver directory) we could help a little more.
I once had a similar issue when I stupidly made a global redirect with a wildcard on my website.
If you say that when you access:
xyz.com/wp-admin
it redirects you to
xyz.com/xyz/wp-admin
Then it might be a permalink issue.
Re-make your permalinks from WP dashboard.
Also, you can try to use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wps-hide-login/
and test from another link (if issue is permalink, maybe WPS HL will interact with wp-admin in a way that will work for some reason)
I have just installed a wordpress website, and i was working with some security measures but now my wordpress admin is not loading. It gets redirected to page not found.
Steps which i have done
I have installed wordpress in the following url icg.projects.com
Then i have moved the wp files to a sub-folder named "core-files" (as per this url http://www.ampercent.com/move-core-wordpress-files-custom-directory/6211/).
Till now frontend and wp admin works fine
Now i just tried to change the admin url to icgadmin (ie. from icg.projects.com/core-files/wp-admin/ to icg.projects.com/core-files/icgadmin/). The problem is after giving the username and password in wp-login page my url becomes http://icg.projects.com/core-files/icgadmin/. But the content of the page is "Page not Found". But the actually i should get the wordpress admin.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance
A client had a problem that the users was logged out after only minutes of inactivity. And wordpress telling that .htaccess wasn't writable(which it was). I checked the wordpress site url and home url and it turned out that the wordpress site url had www including in the url, while the home url didn't. I tried changing the wordpress site url to include www, but it was set back to not including the www when I reloaded the page.
The solution to the problem was that I had to define the the site url and home url in wp-config.php. After that Wordpress stopped complaining about .htaccess not being writable and users was not logged out.
define('WP_HOME','http://www.mysite.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://www.mysite.com');
Anyone know why this happened all of a sudden? And why didn't Wordpress let me save the wordpress home url from the admin interface?
Were there any changes made to the Database of the site recently?
The home and site url's are also stored in the wp_options table in the DB and can be manually changed from PHP myadmin if required...
