Can't access login page

Are you using a security plugin like Ithemes security? This sounds like a plugin misconfiguration. If you have access to Cpanel file manager, you need to look in wp-content/plugins and remove (or move) any plugins that might be causing this problem.

Please if you don’t mind tell me how to find that out. I literally can’t get into anything to even look. I don’t know what Cpanel file manager is. Unfortunately a friend set up the page on wp.org but I no longer have access to her help. I’m traveling the world by bicycle and don’t have the knowledge I need. Any step by step info you can tell me would be really helpful.

You need to start by going to spokeandwords.com/cpanel – from there you need to login using the username and password from hostgator.

Once you have logged in, look for file manager. This should take you to the public_html folder of your website. From there, click on wp-content, and then plugins.

Before you do anything else, please post a list of the plugins folders that are in that main plugin folder. I can probably tell you from that what the problem plugin is.

okay, I followed your directions and here is the list of items under plugins:

plugins

akismet

backwpup

better-wp-security

embed-google-map

feedburner-email-subscription

fusion-core

nextgen-gallery

siteorigin-panels

ultimate-coming-soon-page

virtue-toolkit

wordpress-seo

wp-super-cache

wpnewsman-newsletters

Now what?

You are using iThemes Security (better-wp-security). Maybe ask your question here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/better-wp-security

So you’re saying the problem is in Ithemes Security?
As I said, I’m a luddite, so no idea what I’m doing here. I’ll post my question there.
But what is the problem?

It has a feature that “hides” or renames your login / admin page. It’s a great feature, but can be tricky sometimes if not configured correctly ??
