Title: WP-admin 404 error Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # WP-admin 404 error * [mnelized](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mnelized/) * (@mnelized) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-404-error-2/) * Hi! I need help. I cannot access my admin dashboard. I can see the dashboard menu on top (the one with the ‘howdy’ greeting) but the rest of the page is a 404 error. I’ve already tried to reinstall wordpress from scratch to no avail. I’ve already uploaded a fresh htaccess file but it remains the same. What else can I do? I’ve been having this problem since last year, way before the new version of wordpress so I don’t think it’s my wordpress installation that’s having a problem. Many thanks!

Whenever he tried to login using an admin account, he also gets a 404 error, however, when he tried to login using a contributor account, he can see the dashboard perfectly. Tried to do the same and it worked! However, I really need to fix my admin access. Anyone have a good idea what’s going on? Thank you!
