How to log in

Once you have your site address, you can log into the WordPress dashboard by entering the following information into the login form:

If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it by clicking the Lost your password? link on the login page.

What happens after you log in

Once you log in, you will be taken to the WordPress dashboard. This is where you can manage all aspects of your website, including posts, pages, media, plugins, and themes.

Here are some additional tips for logging into your WordPress site:

  • If you are using a password manager, you can store your WordPress password there. This will make it easier to log in next time.
  • If you are using a public computer, be sure to log out of your WordPress dashboard when you are finished. This will help to protect your account from unauthorized access.
  • If you are having trouble logging in, you can contact your hosting provider for assistance.

I hope this helps!
