1. Access Your WordPress Admin Login Page:
Open your web browser and navigate to your WordPress site's admin login page. This is typically located at your domain followed by "/wp-admin" (e.g., "https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin").
2. Enter Your Username and Password:
On the login page, you'll see fields to enter your username and password. These credentials were set up when you installed WordPress on your hosting server. Enter your username and password into the respective fields.
3. Click "Log In":
After entering your username and password, click the "Log In" button. This will authenticate your credentials and log you into the WordPress admin dashboard.
4. Explore the Admin Dashboard:
Once logged in, you'll be taken to the WordPress admin dashboard. Here, you can manage all aspects of your website, including creating and editing posts, managing pages, installing plugins, updating themes, and more. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the various sections and features available in the dashboard.
5. Log Out When Finished:
After you've completed your tasks in the WordPress admin dashboard, it's important to log out for security purposes. You can do this by hovering over your username in the top right corner of the admin dashboard and selecting "Log Out" from the dropdown menu.
That's it! You've successfully logged in to your self-hosted WordPress site. Remember to keep your login credentials secure and regularly update your password for added security.
