Can’t access wordpress admin site

  • Hello everyone!

    So I was recently working on a new site that I was building on localhost using XAMPP. I was building it and everything was going fine and working perfectly. Then, one day, I access my site and I am able to see my designed site but there aren’t any links to my admin page. I try going to localhost/wp-admin but it just says “this site doesn’t exist.” I can’t access my admin page at all. If anyone could help me solve this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help in advance.

    UPDATE: I manually disabled all of my plugins and my them to see if there was a problem with either of those but it didn’t help. I still couldn’t access the admin page.

    If disabling of ALL plugins does not resolve the issue, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    I already changed the directory for the theme and it didn’t fix the problem? Do you have any other suggestions? Thank you.

    Any error message?

    Please check the error logs on your server for a more specific error message and see why it’s failing. If you need help locating them, ask your hosting provider to help you with that.

    If you cannot find error logs or if you don’t find any helpful info in the error logs, try Enabling debugging

    This is what my control panel shows whenever I start it up:

    8:48:38 PM [main] Initializing Control Panel
    8:48:38 PM [main] Windows Version: Pro 64-bit
    8:48:38 PM [main] XAMPP Version: 7.2.3

    8:48:38 PM [main] You are not running with administrator rights! This will work for
    8:48:38 PM [main] most application stuff but whenever you do something with services
    8:48:38 PM [main] there will be a security dialogue or things will break! So think
    8:48:38 PM [main] about running this application with administrator rights!
    8:48:38 PM [main] XAMPP Installation Directory: “c:\xampp\”
    8:48:38 PM [main] Checking for prerequisites
    8:48:38 PM [main] All prerequisites found
    8:48:38 PM [main] Initializing Modules
    8:48:38 PM [Apache] XAMPP Apache is already running on port 80

    8:48:38 PM [main] Starting Check-Timer
    8:48:38 PM [main] Control Panel Ready

    Try to authorize by the link: /wp-login.php or /wp-admin/index.php

    Perhaps the problem is in your XAMPP, it uses “MariaDB” not all plugins work correctly with this database.
