Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Admin URL link provided to me links to various spam sitesFirst of all, I apologize for posting the entire email I received as confirmation of WordPress being installed on my site, http://www.poetrycritic.com. By the time I posted it, I had already changed my password, so nobody was provided with a current password, just an obsolete one. Anyway, I’m sorry about it, so let’s get past that issue, please.
Here is the point I still need addressed. That confirmation email provided the “Admin URL” http://poetrycritic.com/wp-admin/ which is supposed to provide me access to a WordPress control panel where I can apply themes to my site, etc. But that URL has taken me to various sites that are anything but what it is supposed to take me to. It gives me a 404 error for a few seconds, then loads a page–usually one showing “Poetrycritic.com and some multi-colored circles on the left, with a bunch of links that change topics depending on my most recent online searches. Or to a Jewish dating site, or a language translating service, etc. What I hope someone can help me get is a link to a functioning WordPress control panel. That is what I was led to believe the “Admin URL” was, but it obviously is a faulty URL. There is a control panel associated with my hosting company, but it is not a WordPress admin site. (I switched recently to a host recommended by the same guy who advised me to install WordPress. The wording in his “WordPress 101” newsletter makes it clear the WordPress admin site is not part of the host’s control panel.)
Can any of you provide a working URL for my WordPress Admin site? If so, I will certainly be grateful.
