Get WordPress Admin URL

### **1. Browser Access**
The default WordPress admin URL is:

https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/

Replace `yourdomain.com` with your website's domain.

—

### **2. Programmatically in PHP**
Use the following PHP functions to retrieve the admin URL:

#### **Using `admin_url()`**

echo admin_url();

By default, this will return:

https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/

#### **Admin Page Specific URL**
If you need the URL for a specific admin page, pass the path as an argument:

echo admin_url('options-general.php');

—

### **3. When WordPress is Installed in a Subdirectory**
If WordPress is installed in a subdirectory, the admin URL will include the folder name:

https://yourdomain.com/subdirectory/wp-admin/

—

### **4. If You’re Using a Custom Login URL**
Plugins like **WPS Hide Login** can change the admin URL. To find the correct admin URL:
– Check your plugin settings.
– If you can access your database, look for the custom login URL in the plugin's settings or options table (`wp_options`).

### **1. Default Admin URL with Wordfence**
By default, Wordfence does not change your admin URL. You can still access it using:

https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/

—

### **2. Custom Login URL (if set)**
Wordfence includes a feature called **"Login Security"** where you can configure a **custom login page**. If this feature is active:

1. Log in to WordPress.
2. Go to **Wordfence > Login Security**.
3. Check if a custom login URL is set under **Login Page Options**.

For example, your login URL might change to something like:

https://yourdomain.com/custom-login/

—

### **3. Forgot the Admin URL?**
If you can't access the admin URL due to changes made by Wordfence:

1. **Disable the Plugin Temporarily**:
– Use **FTP** or **cPanel File Manager**.
– Navigate to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
– Rename the `wordfence` folder to `wordfence-disabled`.
– This will deactivate Wordfence, and you can access the admin URL using:

https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/

2. **Check the Database**:
– Log in to **phpMyAdmin**.
– Look for the `wp_options` table (or your custom prefix).
– Search for `wordfence` in the `option_name` column.
– Review the settings for any custom login page URL.

—

### **4. Use the Wordfence Login URL**
If you previously enabled the "Two-Factor Authentication" or "reCAPTCHA," ensure you use the updated login process via the correct admin URL.

### **1. Default Behavior After Installing WPS Hide Login**
After setting up the plugin, the default admin login URLs like:

https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin

or

https://yourdomain.com/wp-login.php

will no longer work. Instead, you will need to use the **custom URL** you configured.

—

### **2. Finding or Resetting the Custom Login URL**
#### **Option 1: Check Your Custom Login URL**
1. Log in to WordPress if you're already authenticated.
2. Go to **Settings > WPS Hide Login**.
3. Look for the "Login URL" field. This will display your current custom URL, e.g.:

https://yourdomain.com/my-custom-login

#### **Option 2: Access the Database**
If you've forgotten your custom login URL and cannot access the admin area:
1. Open **phpMyAdmin** or any database management tool.
2. Locate the `wp_options` table (or your custom prefix).
3. Search for the `option_name` field where the value is `whl_page`.
4. The `option_value` field will contain your custom login slug (e.g., `my-custom-login`).
– Combine this with your site URL, like:

https://yourdomain.com/my-custom-login

—

### **3. Deactivating WPS Hide Login to Reset the URL**
If you still can’t access the login page:
1. Access your website files via **FTP** or **File Manager**.
2. Navigate to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
3. Rename the `wps-hide-login` folder to `wps-hide-login-disabled`.
4. The login page will revert to the default:

https://yourdomain.com/wp-login.php

—

### **4. Prevent Future Issues**
Once you regain access:
– Keep a note of your custom login URL.
– Ensure your custom login URL is user-friendly and memorable.
