No Wp-Admin Page

    Scenario: I was previously using a DDNS pointed to his linux server to host his site. He bought a static IP and the DDNS service was no longer needed. I made all the necessary changes with his A and WWW records as well as his MX records. I modified the config.php to reflect the changes with the new URL. The website loads perfectly and all of the published pages work correctly. However, when I go to /wp-admin it basically gives me a 404. It looks like it redirects me to wp-login.php but thats all the farther it gets with a 404 on the screen.

    Fixes I’ve tried: I’ve tried it with and without the “www” in the domain name. I’ve tried to access it from remote and internal networks. I’ve tried rebooting the server numerous times. Keeps giving me the same result — perfecty site, no admin page. I’ve attempted to look through all the required php files for the login, but i’m stumped.

    Notes: I have full local access to this server, so transferring files, replacing them, rebooting, is all easily done. I know a fair amount about mysql, php, html, css. I’m just not guru enough to fix “this” issue.

    Thank you for reading and any inputs. It is appreciated ??

    Is there any custom plugin, your code in plugins, or anything in functions.php that could affect URLs/references to WP-Admin? Did you maybe hardcode a URL by accident, or perhaps there’s a rewrite rule. I’d check plugins after firstly uploading a fresh copy of WP (not wp-content ofc) to rule out any corruption. The other place to have a look is in .htaccess, in case any foolishness has occurred in there. I appreciate that none of this may work and you may have already tried this stuff, but that’s where I’d start.

    I appreciate your time and your response. Could you explain how to upload a fresh copy of WP without losing any site data?

    Thanks for your time, we got it sorted. Silly me, it was a missing wp-login.php file after running some upgrades and switching URLs. just a coincidence I guess. It probably had nothing to do with the URL change but all to do with the upgrades perhaps.
