How do you *start* WordPress after installing?

    I installed WordPress using my web host’s one-click all-in-one installation. So how do I *start* WordPress, or run it, or open it – sorry, I don’t even know the term for this.

    I know how to *use* WordPress once it’s open, because I’ve already done a local install on my own hard drive (to do a non-online dry run). I created a blog, wrote posts, changed the theme, widgets, all that stuff, in order to test it out. The thing I don’t know is how to open WordPress at my web host.

    The documentation here at www.ads-software.com jumps from installing WordPress directly to the things you can do at the Admin screen, skipping over how you *get to* the Admin screen.

  • During the install, you should have gotten an email with a link to your site admin – it’s typically:

    https://example.com/wp-login.php

    OK thanks. I can log in now. The problem turned out to be that the web host address I added at my domain registration service took a couple of hours to propagate and until that, wp-login.php was taking me to the generic “this domain has been registered” page. I thought there must be some some other setting I didn’t know about but there isn’t.
