    When I log in to my website. I am redirect to the main page, not the admin page.
    I know I have the correct password because I changed it in the PHP admin.

    Not sure why this is happening.

    thanks

    Hi,
    I had this problem 3 times:

    -first one it was needed to hide the /wp-admin/ slug installing wp admin redirect plugin to login.
    -second to hide the xmplr file disalowing it : https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-disable-xml-rpc-in-wordpress/
    -3th go to your permlinks and change them once how ever, later return them as was before (this is not the best option, but was working for me)

    None of those work.
    I clear cookie and tried this on a different browser
    I disable all plug ins
    hide the xmplr file disalowing it :

    What does your .htaccess file say? (BLOCK OUT any identifying information if it has any)

    Okay I had my back up recovered.
    I am now able to get in my website admin.
    But I see that I need to update the PHP and the theme.

    I will have to do those again.

    Closing this post thanks for helping
