Title: Cannot login Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Cannot login * [karunnt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karunnt/) * (@karunnt) * [16 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-login-10/) * When I try to login (by going to [http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin](http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin)) I get a 404 error. * I have: – renamed plugin directory – renamed theme directory * But no luck. * This is a Hostgator account and I have other sites on that account that are fine. I had not logged into this account for a few weeks.

Its precisely the blank site you can see when you will try to view my site. One thing I have noticed, Google has still access and have downloaded my sitemap successfully recently.
