WORDPRESS LOGIN ISSUES:


Most login issues can be resolved easily.


Login URL:


Be sure to use the correct login URL.  We use a special login URL to login to our network.   Do not use the standard WordPress login format such as [yourdomain]/wp-admin.  You login to the network, not your site. For example a login URL looks something like this:  seo1.serpcom.com.



Logging into WordPress may involve a cookie conflict:


This happens often with new websites, It may also involve your IP address.


Getting Locked out of your network or your site:


Attempting to login unsuccessfully more that 4 times will get you locked out, if you can't login don't keep trying to guess your password.  Try resetting your password or fill out a ticket to have your password reset.

You will have to submit a ticket with your local IP address to get back in.


To resolve cookie conflict and login issues do the following:


  1. Save any work you are doing and close all apps.
