Title: Cannot Login Into WP-Admin Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Cannot Login Into WP-Admin * Resolved [Maggieway](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maggieway/) * (@maggieway) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/) * Hi, I don’t know if this is a common issue but I just simply did a redirect for my home page at luckyredinc.com to luckyredinc.com/# (only because the /# URL had footers I wanted to set for the home page). I just used the WordPress URL under Settings/General options. * The format COMPLETELY changed, now I can’t even get back into my WordPress dashboard….. * I went to my hosting control panel to redirect it to my original URL but my site still is under this URL: [http://luckyredinc.com/?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fluckyredinc.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1#/wp-login.php](http://luckyredinc.com/?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fluckyredinc.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1#/wp-login.php) * Help Please!!!! I have tried removing/disabling plugins, changing theme names. * I am using the MyArcade Plugin and Arcade Pulse theme btw * Thanks, Maggie Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) * [Justin Greer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justingreerbbi/) * (@justingreerbbi) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975302) * Maggie, * If you have access to FTP, you still have options. Check out [https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL) to see how you can change your site URL manually. * You will need to use the function.php update method. * [Mithilesh Kumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mithilesh-kumar/) * (@mithilesh-kumar) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975314) * Try [http://luckyredinc.com/wp-login.php](http://luckyredinc.com/wp-login.php) * Thread Starter [Maggieway](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maggieway/) * (@maggieway) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975373) * I tried the URL change via FTP it didn’t work. * When I go into wp-login.php I get directed to the [http://luckyredinc.com/?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fluckyredinc.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1#/wp-login.php](http://luckyredinc.com/?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fluckyredinc.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1#/wp-login.php). Plus the login screen looks really off, it doesn’t look like the WordPress login. * I think the # seems to have caused all these problems. I tried deactivating the plugins and that didn’t work either… * [Justin Greer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justingreerbbi/) * (@justingreerbbi) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975376) * Are you sure that you did the site url update properly? This is a 100% guarantee that it would work and remove the # if indeed you only changed the URL in the site url options. * Even if wp-login.php would let you log in, you would be redirected to the wrong location since the site URL is not correct in the database. * – Ensure that you have cleared your cache – Ensure that if your server uses cache, that it is cleared as well. * If you have access to PHPMyAdmin you may have to handle the URL change manually. Instructions for this can be found in the codex I shared before. * Thread Starter [Maggieway](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maggieway/) * (@maggieway) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975380) * OMG YES the PHPMyAdmin worked!!!!! * Thank you so so much Justin, Happy Easter 🙂 * [Justin Greer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/justingreerbbi/) * (@justingreerbbi) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975405) * Glad it worked for you. * [bonniesoltis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bonniesoltis/) * (@bonniesoltis) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975432) * thank you but it is not a PW problem. WP changed my pw because they said I had not been in my WP account for a few months (had no need to go there) although I was in my lifemapsolutions site just yesterday working on it. The OLD bellsouth email is the problem, so when I try to reset a pw it goes there and I can’t get it because it was hacked months ago. WP doesn’t give me an option to CHANGE that email, only to create a new one, which shows me as a new customer and still cant get back into my site dashboard. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975433) * Are you trying to login via WordPress.COM dashboard? I see that link on your login? IF so, go here: * [https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/](https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/) * WordPress.ORG does not change passwords on sites – in fact, has no ability to do so. * [bonniesoltis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bonniesoltis/) * (@bonniesoltis) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975435) * All I ever do to get into my dashboard and site is go to [http://www.lifemapsolutions.org/wp-admin](http://www.lifemapsolutions.org/wp-admin) or admin/. This morning when I did it as usual, it gave a “fatal error” long message…one moment out of many when I went to WP it kicked back and said they had changed my info. I don’t get it that is all I have to go on. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975437) * Oh sorry, just noticed this is a different thread – let’s keep it in the other thread – it’s very confusing to have multiple conversations and frankly, people in this thread really don’t need to get emails about something unrelated to their issue. * [bonniesoltis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bonniesoltis/) * (@bonniesoltis) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975438) * The account recovery only changes the PW and sends it back to the old hacked bellsouth account? I’ll try to ask Hostgator for help. * [WPyogi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpyogi/) * (@wpyogi) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975439) * Let’s use this thread: * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-login-issue-with-wp-super-cache-143?replies=15](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-login-issue-with-wp-super-cache-143?replies=15) * [bonniesoltis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bonniesoltis/) * (@bonniesoltis) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975440) * Thank you I know you didn’t have to try to help me. * Thread Starter [Maggieway](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maggieway/) * (@maggieway) * [11 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975477) * Hi, whilst this post is still open * Do you guys know how to change a certain page URL through MyPHP Admin? * Under my luckyredinc.com I want to change the URL of the ‘Categories’ page from luckyredinc.com/# to just luckyredinc.com * Can’t seem to find it when I go into wp-options * Thanks 🙂 * [pappugames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pappugames/) * (@pappugames) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975608) * Demo of Arcadepulse theme ——-> [http://www.pappu10.com](http://www.pappu10.com) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 15 total) The topic ‘Cannot Login Into WP-Admin’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [reauth=1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/reauth1/) * [wp-admin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/wp-admin/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 15 replies * 6 participants * Last reply from: [pappugames](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pappugames/) * Last activity: [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-into-wp-admin/#post-5975608) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
