You must successfully log in to get access to the admin panel and manage WordPress themes, plugins, blogs, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article explains how to find a website\u2019s login URL. We will also share some tips to make the login process quick and secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-find-login-page-url\"><strong>How to Find Login Page URL<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress users can find login page URL by adding \/admin\/ or \/login\/ to the website\u2019s URL. So, if the WordPress site is www.yourwebsite.com, visit www.yourwebsite.com\/admin\/ or www.yourwebsite.com\/login\/. The admin login page will appear if you\u2019re not logged in yet or the session has already expired. You can also add \/wp-login.php\/ to the URL, and WordPress will direct you to the login page regardless if you\u2019re logged in or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This procedure will not work if the WordPress site has been installed in a subdirectory or on a subdomain. In such a case, add a subdirectory name to the end of the site\u2019s URL or a subdomain name at the start. This way, the correct URL will look something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><em>www.yourwebsite.com\/wordpress\/login\/<\/em>, where \/wordpress\/ is the name of a subdirectory;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>subdomain.yourwebsite.com\/login\/ <\/em>with the subdomain name added in the beginning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-remember-the-wordpress-login-page-url\"><strong>How to Remember the WordPress Login Page URL<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Locating <a href=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/blog\/custom-wordpress-login-page-plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordPress login page<\/a> URL seems to be easy. You may want to save the URL to make the logging process quicker, and here\u2019s how it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bookmarking-the-login-page\"><strong>Bookmarking the login page<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Saving the URL for future use will relieve you from typing long URLs every time there\u2019s a need to access the website. The simplest way to do this is by bookmarking the login page to the preferred browser. Most browsers will allow using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+D or a star button next to the address bar to pull up a menu for creating a bookmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"adding-login-page-link-to-the-website\"><strong>Adding login page link to the website<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next option for finding your login page\u2019s URL is to link it to the site\u2019s navigation menu, footer, or sidebar. From the admin\u2019s dashboard, go to <strong><em>Appearance &gt; Menu<\/em><\/strong>. Open \u201c<strong>Add Menu Items<\/strong>\u201d under the tab <strong>Edit Menus<\/strong>. Finally, open the <strong>Custom Links<\/strong> option, insert the login URL in a box, and click on<strong> <\/strong>the \u201c<strong>Add to Menu<\/strong>\u201d button. These actions will result in a Login button linked to WordPress login URL on the website\u2019s header menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bypassing-the-logging-process-with-remember-me-box\"><strong>Bypassing the logging process with Remember Me box<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to speed up the logging process is to check the <strong>Remember Me<\/strong> box and successfully log into the WordPress site. WordPress will create a cookie on the computer to let you bypass logging in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"securing-your-wordpress-login-page\"><strong>Securing Your WordPress Login Page<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve seen how easy it is to find the WordPress login URL, it\u2019s important to take some precautions to enhance WordPress security. Here are a few tips on how to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"creating-a-custom-login-page-url\"><strong>Creating a custom login page URL<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to do is to change the login URL and share it only with people who should have access to it. One method to change the login URL involves modifying core files in WordPress. Editing core files may be easy for advanced WordPress users. For those who just learned to use this site builder, there\u2019s an alternative solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many free and paid plugins to choose from. For example, <em>Admin Login URL Change<\/em> is a lightweight plugin that does not change any core files, so it definitely won\u2019t mess up the website\u2019s login page. Just install it to WordPress and configure it by filling in boxes for the old login URL and a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, a custom login URL doesn\u2019t guarantee WordPress site security, but it does make it significantly harder for unauthorized users to get access to the admin dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"limiting-the-number-of-login-attempts\"><strong>Limiting the number of login attempts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, you can limit the number of login attempts from a specific IP address in a given time. Often, human or bot hackers break into an account by trying different login and password combinations until they succeed. Plugins, such as<em> Limit Login Attempts Reloaded<\/em>, give options to choose the number of attempts permitted for one IP address before locking it out, for how long it is locked out, and some other functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"adding-recaptcha-to-wordpress-login-page\"><strong>Adding reCAPTCHA to WordPress login page<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding reCAPTCHA to the WordPress login form is also an effective measure against spambots and brute force attacks. Once again, this can be done by installing and activating one of many plugins, such as the <em>Advanced noCAPTCHA &amp; Invisible CAPTCHA<\/em> plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article explained how to locate the WordPress login page URL and speed up the logging process. We discussed why it is a good idea to change the login URL and what other measures can be taken to enhance the login page\u2019s security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\u2019re here, check out information about <a href=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/knowledge-base\/articles\/how-to-change-wordpress-dashboard-access-details\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Change WordPress Dashboard Access Details<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From this tutorial, you will learn how to find a URL to the WordPress login page and find out more about securing it through various methods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","format":"standard","builder-category":[],"article-category":[349,269],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to Find the WordPress Login Page URL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Can&#039;t find your WordPress login URL?
