 * Hi there,
    My site is [http://www.willstedman.com](http://www.willstedman.com)
   I tried to login to my site today using the wp-admin slug but got a 404 error
   back saying page not found etc…
 * I then tried to login via my host (godaddy) which worked but it logged me in 
   under another user and I’m unable to log out of that and still unable to get 
   to the wp-admin page also tried the /wp-login.php. and that didn’t work either.
 * Can someone help me get to the bottom of this as I’m now very confused! I haven’t
   done anything recently that would of changed it and its just today I’m getting
   this 404 error!
 * Thanks in advance
    Will

 * Hi Stederz,
 * Did you change anything in the core of WordPress? When accessing the wp-login.
   php file I receive an error saying causes too many redirects.

 * I don’t think so, i truth be told i haven’t done anything to the site in the 
   past few weeks! Its all been fine up until today!
 * Do you think turning off plugins and testing it may reveal the problem or is 
   this type of problem lie deeper than plugins?

 * Hi Stederz,
 * You can always try deactivating plugins, if this doesn’t work you can always 
   reupload the WordPress core. You only need to reupload the following folders 
   in you FTP root.
 * 1) wp-admin
    2) wp-includes
 * If you think you have been hacked in anyway make shure someone checks your FTP
   root for any weird file names. Also delete the `wp-admin` & `wp-includes` before
   uploading the new one, make shure it’s clean.
