Title: Cannot Access WP-Admin Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Cannot Access WP-Admin * Resolved [lincolnsquare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lincolnsquare/) * (@lincolnsquare) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-wp-admin-20/) * I am no longer able to access the WordPress Administration page. * I have reviewed and tried the solutions here: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble](http://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble) * Either these are outdated (code is different than in the examples), or the changes I made did not fix my issue. * I used to go to [http://mysite.org/wordpress/wp-admin](http://mysite.org/wordpress/wp-admin) to access my WordPress administrator. Now, I only see the website without css. * In the database I _currently_ have the following values: siteurl: [http://mysite.org/wordpress/](http://mysite.org/wordpress/) home: [http://mysite.org/wordpress/](http://mysite.org/wordpress/) * I’ve tried every variation on these two settings that I can think of, including: ‘ [http://mysite.org’](http://mysite.org’); and ‘[http://mysite.org/wordpress/’](http://mysite.org/wordpress/’); and ‘[http://mysite.org/wordpress/wp-admin’](http://mysite.org/wordpress/wp-admin’); and ‘[http://mysite.org/wordpress/wp-login’](http://mysite.org/wordpress/wp-login’); * None have been successful. Any suggestions? Thanks!

It became inaccessible, I believe, after updating these 2 settings in the General > Settings section. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-wp-admin-20/#post-4584513) * If you changed either (or both) of those urls, that’s asking to trying (and failing) to move the site. Change the urls back. See [Changing_The_Site_URL](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL) for details of how to do this correctly without logging in. * Thread Starter [lincolnsquare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lincolnsquare/) * (@lincolnsquare) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-wp-admin-20/#post-4584530) * I appreciate your quick responses. * I have tried modifying functions.php, wp-config.php, and wp-login.php per the troubleshooting guides without any luck. * I do not recall what the home and siteurl values were – I was trying to remove“ wordpress” from the url – but at this point, “wordpress” has been added to the url on many occassions via the above modifications – I also have verified the values directly in the database. * This was the first time I tried to change these values, so is there a default value that WordPress starts with out of the box for home and siteurl? I assume that is the value I need. * I’m clearly missing something. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-wp-admin-20/#post-4584592) * > I do not recall what the home and siteurl values were * Where was WordPress originally installed on this domain? * Thread Starter [lincolnsquare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lincolnsquare/) * (@lincolnsquare) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-wp-admin-20/#post-4584601) * File Manager shows: Root Directory > httpdocs > wordpress wp-admin, wp-content, index.php are all in this wordpress folder. * I hope that answers your question. * In the db, I have these values: siteurl: [http://howtoloselovehandles.org/wordpress](http://howtoloselovehandles.org/wordpress) home: [http://howtoloselovehandles.org](http://howtoloselovehandles.org) * Previously, I was able to access wp-admin here: [http://howtoloselovehandles.org/wordpress/wp-admin](http://howtoloselovehandles.org/wordpress/wp-admin) * Thank you very much for your assistance. * [yehudah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yehudah/) * (@yehudah) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-wp-admin-20/#post-4584605) * with ftp delete from the plugin folder: “Login LockDown” * Thread Starter [lincolnsquare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lincolnsquare/) * (@lincolnsquare) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-wp-admin-20/#post-4584607) * **[@yehudah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yehudah/)** That did it!! I don’t know how you knew I had that Login Lockdown plugin (I renamed it), but that must’ve been the source of the issue. * I now have access to my dashboard (minus the images for some reason)! * Thank you so much! * Thread Starter [lincolnsquare](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lincolnsquare/) * (@lincolnsquare) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-wp-admin-20/#post-4584608) * By the way, the img paths in the html was altered in all this whoopla – I was able to correct the filepath for each image to point to the correct folder.
