It seems obvious, but how do you log in to WordPress (admin dashboard) to manage your website? The answer is simple.
Log in to WordPress
Navigate to example.com/wp-login.php where example.com is your website domain. If you have installed WordPress on a subdomain or a folder, consider using that address.
For example, it will be alvand.dev/wp-login.php for this website and alvand.dev/testing/wp-login.php if I install WordPress on a folder named testing.
Then enter your Username or Email Address and Password of the admin user and click on the Log In button. You can also tick the Remember Me checkbox to keep you logged in for 14 days.
After logging in, you will be redirected to example.com/wp-admin/ which is the actual address of the WordPress dashboard. Remember example.com is your website domain. Next time you can type this URL if you checked remember me in the previous section to see the admin area.
