How to log into WordPress

May 9, 2026 • Getting Started

WordPress is where you manage your website pages, posts, images, menus and plugins. This guide explains how to access your WordPress dashboard on a Host Luma hosted website.

Step 1: Open your WordPress login page

If your domain is live, go to https://yourdomain.co.uk/wp-admin and replace yourdomain.co.uk with your real domain.

If your website is still on a Host Luma preview domain, use the preview website URL from your welcome email and add /wp-admin to the end.

Step 2: Enter your WordPress login details

Enter your WordPress username or email address and your password, then click Log In.

Step 3: Use the WordPress dashboard

Use Pages to edit normal website pages.

Use Posts to edit blog posts or knowledgebase articles.

Use Media to upload images and files.

Use Appearance or Elementor only if your website has been set up to use them.

If the login page redirects or fails

Check that the website URL is typed correctly.

Try using /wp-login.php instead of /wp-admin.

Clear your browser cache or try a private browsing window.

Contact Host Luma support if you see a security block, redirect loop or server error.

Important notes

Use a strong password and avoid reusing the same password from other websites.
