Can’t access wordpress admin site

  • Hello everyone!

    So I was recently working on a new site that I was building on localhost using XAMPP. I was building it and everything was going fine and working perfectly. Then, one day, I access my site and I am able to see my designed site but there aren’t any links to my admin page. I try going to localhost/wp-admin but it just says “this site doesn’t exist.” I can’t access my admin page at all. If anyone could help me solve this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help in advance.

    Try manually resetting your plugins (no Dashboard access required). If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    Alternately, if you have access to your Dashboard’s Plugins page, try deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).

    Hello t-p,

    When I turned off all of my plugins through phpmyadmin, it didn’t fix the problem as I still couldn’t access my administrative page. I also tried removing my theme from the folder it is in, but that just gave me a blank page. localhost/wp-admin still didn’t work and I still couldn’t access the admin page. I appreciate you helping ?? thank you. If you have any more suggestions, I’d be glad to hear them.
