Once you install wordpress, you need to access the dashboard to make changes to it.
There are a few ways to access the wordpress dashboard.
1.Using Softaculous App Installer (Recommended)
Softaculous provides a one click login option to your wordpress dashboard. To login to your dashboard using Softaculous, use this guide
2.Using WordPress login script
WordPress provides two URLs you can use to login to your dashboard. If your domain is truehosttestdomain.com, you can login to WordPress using
http://truehosttestdomain.com/wp-admin
or
http://truehosttestdomain.com/wp-login.php
Note: If you are enable to access wordpress via any of the methods above and instead get a 404 page, try the following:
- Confirm if you had a plugin that changes your login URL. Some plugins do this as a security measure. One such popular plugin is called wps-hide-login. If you cannot remember your custom login URL, disable the plugin first, login then enable it again.
- Check if you have a misconfigured .htaccess file inside your wp-admin folder. If the .htaccess file has rules that look like this, you need to delete the file
