If your existing user account has been corrupted or cannot be accessed for any other reason, you can create a new admin user from the phpMyAdmin interface by adding information to the wp_user and wp_usermeta tables.
Other plugins contribute to WordPress security by changing the default login URL from the standard yoursite.com/wp-admin to something different. This can help block brute force attacks. But problems can arise if you forget the new login URL (a much more common problem than you might think!).
WordPress try admin ( )
I could whitelist the admin to allow access only from a specific IP range; I feel this is very restrictive for the nature of the website - a free service. Here's a screenshot of thousands of emails I get for this site regarding failed login attempts - consistent for well over a year if not more.
Your advice works fine for the blog I can get into: ArtFairCalendar.com but that is not the blog I am having trouble logging into. I do admin for another blog. Suddenly I cannot get into it. There are repeated requests for passwords that used to work.
I note also that ArtFairCalendar.com is not hosted here at wordpress.com and would have nothing to do with any account here at wordpress.com. Is this other blog hosted here at wp.com or elsewhere? Can you please provide a link to it?
The blogs you pay hosting fees and that are hosted by ipowerweb have nothing to do with this wordpress.com forum and we cannot help you with them. They run on different software. The forum for those blogs is at at
A common WordPress security practice is to change the default admin login URL (domain.com/wp-admin) to something custom. This can help prevent hackers and bots from hammering your login URL trying to gain access.
Everytime I try to login to my wordpress URL, it get redirected to a domain I previously used. This means I cannot login because I set up a new site for the previous domain and it should no longer be associated. I suspect that the change maybe something that I did within wordpress (changing the permalinks?) But I cant login because it keeps redirecting- help!!!
Hello..Good afternoon.I want to ask that if you want a developer to help you to design your website either partially or impartially, what position would you post him to, administrator or what?
I was locked out of my wp admin panel after installing a premium theme, I guess it was as a result of many free themes and plugins I previously installed, I have been trying to get my ftp details from wordpress so I can troubleshoot from filezella,but it has not been ssuccessful.
It looks like your redirection plugin may be encountering an error, you should be able to disable it using our guide here: -to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-wp-admin/to allow you to log back into your site.
hiI have come across an issue with the login attempts since I have activated my Loginizer plugin. I have been unable to login as an admin into my WordPress. I tried changing my password in my phpadmin, but it failed too. I tried login with the password and id from my Cpanel still it shows error in login id or password, please suggest me a solution.
When I type in the /wp-admin URL it shows me to a log in screen and I enter my details only for it to return the error message: This site is currently undergoing maintenance, and will be back shortly.
I just switched my website over from WordPress.com yesterday. Everything was working fine or so I thought. Today I tried to log into my site via the /wp-admin/ page, but it is telling me that my e-mail, username, and password are all invalid. I tried to reset the password, but it told me there was no account linked to the address or the username.
Every time i wish to access my wordpress dashboard which is installed in a namecheap hosting whenever i put my user ID and password then this message appears : You have been locked out due to too many invalid login attempts. Can anyone give me a solution
If you are not logged in under the correct username then clear your browser cache -issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies -issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into another account
To fix this, you need to deactivate all WordPress plugins on your website. Now, normally you can just go to Plugins All Plugins page inside the WordPress admin area and deactivate plugins from there.
After that, switch to the WordPress admin area of your website and go to the Plugins All Plugins page. From here, you can activate your plugins one by one, and then visit your website to see if you can reproduce the error.
Thanks so much for the article! In my case, the problem turned out to be a different one: My domain contained an umlaut (ü). I had to convert my domain name to Punycode and change my wordpress address and site address to the resulting URL.
Hi, Please what should i do?i followed the steps involved in removing the /wp in my siteurl. then immediately i altered the wordpress and siteurl and saved changes, i have been unable to login into the wp-admin. the following is the error message i received.
You would want to bring back the www to your site, to do that you would edit the options table similar to our guide here: -guide/how-to-reset-a-wordpress-password-from-phpmyadmin/Once you do, for removing www you can follow our guide here: -guide/www-vs-non-www-which-is-better-for-wordpress-seo/

Hi,I had this error on the product tag page. I tried all the possible repairs mantioned above with no luck.Finally, I had to rename slug for tags not to be numbers, eg. 2016, so I renamed it to r2016 and it started to work!It must have been caused by some wordpress update, because it have been working few years before with tags named as numbers.
I am having the exact same error since about 2 days ago. I noticed that when I create a fresh wordpress installation it looks like the email address is shortened (rendering retreiving password unusaable)
A common WordPress security practice is to change the default admin login URL (domain.com/wp-admin) to something custom. This can help prevent hackers and bots from constantly hammering your login URL trying to gain access.
Are you able to log in properly, but find you no longer have access to administrative functions like plugins and themes? If so, then your issue is that you no longer have admin privileges. It could be that your WordPress site was hacked and your privileges were deleted.
If you saw a blank screen when you tried to access your admin dashboard, then yours is a case of the dreaded white screen of death. The good news is, there are many solutions that can get you out of this issue and give you back access to your dashboard.
A question with a backstory:I had something go wrong with a plugin upgrade. Support solutions offered by the developers were ineffective. They asked for an admin account to be created for wordpress so they could go in and fix the problem, which they did.
Can the original admin account I created that was broken be deleted and re-created?Or is there some way it could be repaired? The username for that account is the same as the site and convenient.
Hello, the account should be able to be deleted as long as there is another administrator account. Does your host support WP-CLI? If so, we recommend asking your host to delete the user with this command.
A less common problem has to do with file permissions on your server. If you have the wrong file permissions for the wp-login.php file and wp-admin folder, that can make you unable to access the WordPress dashboard.
I am hoping someone can help me. Currenlty we have a website but the administration for the site has changed the password and possibly the username and that person has now left the club and as a result we cannot access or update the website we created.
We are so glad we were able to help. The email should go to your admin email for the associated user account. You can view and update this in the dashboard: 1. Login to WordPress 2. Click Users 3. You will then see the users listed with email addresses. Roll your mouse over the user and click Edit to change the email address associated with it.
So i have this problem. I changed wordpress password, but it only lets me to log in using it the first time i do it. Then it doesnt work and tells me that aither my password or user name is wrong. Why is this happening?
I am tried to reset my wordpress password number of times. I am receiving the resetting email but while trying it shows invalid resetting link. And now while i was trying again it is displaying a message like this

After restoring your backup, you will be able to access your wp-admin page and log in as usual. We suggest that you still troubleshoot to find out the root cause of the problem so that the error is fixed permanently.
