# Really Weird 404 Error

 * There is a login link top right for registered users use. The issue is when they
   try to login it redirects to a 404 error (you can test this by entering username:‘
   test’ and password ‘test’ and the same thing will happen).
 * **Basically, the 404 error doesn’t seem to be managed by my WordPress install
   which is really weird.**
 * I have contacted the login plugin support at Cozmoslabs and the issue isn’t related
   to their plugin.
 * As I did updates last night I thought that maybe was the cause so I have restored
   the site backup from two weeks ago and the issue is still there.
 * I updated permalinks and purged cache even cdn cache however, the issue persists
   so any help appreciated.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Freally-weird-404-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Try [manually resetting your plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/article/faq-troubleshooting/#how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-the-administrative-menus)(
   no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one
   individually until you find the cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via [SFTP or FTP](https://wordpress.org/support/article/ftp-clients/),
   or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, navigate to `/wp-content/
   themes/` and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force
   the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (
   theme functions can interfere like plugins).

 * [@t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) thanks for replying.
 * I have admin access to my dashboard no problem, it is user access that is throwing
   a 404. It cannot be a plugin as I restored to a backup that didn’t have the issue
   and no new plugins have been added since, only updates but I’ve reverted those.
   Theme hasn’t changed or needed an update, I could easily try another though I
   don’t think that’s it.
