Admin Panel 404
-
Hello Forum Members,
I tried logging into WordPress a few moments ago and encountered something strange for the first time.
First, the login page loads unstylized into the upper left corner without any css styles applied to it.
Second, After I enter my username and password and clicking Log In, instead of seeing my dashboard, it appears it takes me to the “404 ERROR” page of the website with “It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try a search?” with an search box below it.
I get the black Admin Bar at the very top which shows the WordPress logo drop-down, site name drop-down, Customize, 1 Update, 0 Comments and + New drop-down. This is followed by the website site navigation below it, followed by the website header below that and the actual “404 ERROR” below.
I can navigate the site navigation, but clicking on any of the links in the Admin bar takes me to the site’s “404 ERROR” page.
It should be noted, when I installed WP a year ago I installed it into a sub-directory, and basically moved the index.php file(with updated sub-directory path) into the root directory and changed WP Address URL with the sub-directory path under Settings>General.
I did backup all of the files in the WP sub-directory path a month ago. I also have sql and xml backups from February too.
This is my first WP site and its been running fine for a year without any issues until now. I’m not sure what to do. My first thought is to put a ticket in with the HOST Provider and see if maybe they have any suggestions.
Any ideas is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and words.
George
