   I can't login to my dashboard. I originally had a wp.com blog that I paid to be hosted at wp. But, then I needed to do more customization, so my designer had me transfer the blog to a wp.org type blog and he took care of the hosting on his machine.

   My last post was around mid-march and everything was fine. By the end of the month, I couldn't login to my dashboard. I contacted my designer who is also hosting my blog and he looked into it but says it seems to be a wp problem.

   When I try to go to my dashboard, I see the following error:

   404 Not Found Error

   I had also received emails that my subscription to my WP hosting was expiring, but per my designer, he was hosting the blog so I didn't need to pay that anymore.

   I'm totally guessing as to whether this is the problem or not. Any help is greatly appreciated. I miss my blog :-((

   Thank you very very much,

   That looks more like a hosting problem to me. Your blog is refusing to load the stylesheets and several other required files, yet if I visit the URLs from the source directly, they work perfectly. Something on the server's end is preventing these required files from loading with your blog.

   Additionally, it appears that you are only allowing certain IPs access to your admin directory, which is a good security measure, but when used overzealously can cause a lot of conflicts. In this case, you could be inadvertently blocking your server's IP, which could be why you can't load the required files along with your blog.

   Thanks @Macmanx. So, how would I fix this? Or, should I let my hosting company know and they will understand what you said?

   If there's a .htaccess file in the /wp-admin/ , /wp-content/ , and /wp-includes/ directories, try renaming it to htaccess (remove the dot). If that doesn't work, you may need to contact your hosting provider.
