Here's how to log in to your WordPress Dashboard:

  1. Open your website in your web browser
  2. Add: /wp-admin at the end of the website's address (in your browser's address bar). For example, if your site is mywebsite.com your WordPress Dashboard address will be mywebsite.com/wp-admin
  3. You'll now see your WordPress login screen.
