How to log in to your WordPress dashboard

The WordPress dashboard (wp-admin) is where you manage your site — pages, posts, themes, plugins and settings.

Logging in

  1. Go to yourdomain.co.za/wp-admin (use your own domain).
  2. Enter the username (or email) and password you set when WordPress was installed.
  3. Click Log In.

Tips

  • Tick Remember Me to stay logged in on your own device.
  • If the page won't load, make sure your domain points to BPHOST and WordPress is installed.
  • Forgotten your password? Use the Lost your password? link — or see our guide on resetting it.

Still can't get in? Open a ticket and we'll help you regain access.
