 * Hi
    I am very new to WordPress. I thought I would install a WordPress site through
   Ipage hosting using simple scripts. I have done this before on Blue Host without
   any problems . So just assumed it would be an easy process, but when I click 
   on the admin button I get a directory page 404 I am a complete newbie please 
   help. [](http://rachelsofficesupport.co.uk)

 * Hello JimNedor,
 * My name is Melissa and I am the Social Media Manager here at iPage. We’ve been
   keeping an eye out on the forums to see about assisting customers wherever we
   can.
 * I’d be happy to investigate and assist you with this.
    Often a page not found
   error with WordPress is due to a .htaccess permalink issue. With /wp-admin/ it
   should load so I’d like to take a look myself. Please let me know if this has
   been resolved with our technical support already. If you are still in need of
   assistance, please provide your domain so I can locate your account and reach
   out via more secure means.
 * Kind regards,
 * Melissa

 * Hi Melissa
 * Still have the problem! I haven’t contacted technical support.
    I just thought
   I’d look on the forum to see if I could get some help.
 * If you would like to give it a try that would be great!

 * Hi Jim,
 * Thank you for replying.
 * In order to assist you further I will need to gain access to your account to 
   check the files and setup. I have sent an email to the approved administrative
   address on file to gain security verification and permission to proceed – this
   also updates as a ticket in the Support Console. Please check your email or your
   Support Console to respond so I can further assist you.
 * Once the issue is resolved you can post the findings here if you like, however
   I am not able to disclose account details/findings publicly.
 * Kind regards,
 * Melissa
