I changed the url wp-admin and now i can’t login

How did you change it? Did you use a plugin like ‘Hide my Admin’? If so vi aftp go the wp-content/plugins and rename ( not delete ) the plugins folder e.g. plugins-old then login all plugins will be deactivated. Then rename the folde rback to plugins , go to teh plugins page and the recently active tab and re-activate them. ( then go the the admin hide plugin and rename it to something you can remember )

Thank you Alan, I didn’t use a plugin to change it. I think I did it in the ‘users’ tab in the dashboard. I can’t quite remember but I had some sort of email or something about changing the login in url from the generic ‘wp-login’ to something more recognisable. I don’t know why I messed with it. Now when I go to log in it doesn’t work. I just want to reset it back to what it was originally but I dont know how to do it. Any more ideas? Thanks so much for replying in the first place, much appreciated.

Changing the admin URL is not a standard feature, so I’m surprised you say it wasn’t via a plugin. The fact you got an email even more so.

if I were you, I’d take a backup of your site from your control panel, and then do the plugin directory rename but also see if you have an mu-plugin directory ( as some hosts add that without you knowing )

Thanks. I can see in filezilla that I do have an mu-plugin, but it’s empty. Do you mean access the control panel via my hosting? Will there be a file I can look for in filezilla that will show me the changes i made to the login url? Thanks,

you can look in .htaccess maybe

Thanks, i’ll have a look. I have a feeling it may have been done through SSL pro. I have tried renaming the plugin folder but it wont work. Oh gosh, i think i’ll have to ask someone to have a look at it all for me. Thank you so much for your help Alan.
