Error 404 when loggin in from link in access info email

  • I’m using Bluehost. Have successfully installed WordPress – got the email with the link to log in to my new installation, but when I hit that link, it gives me a HTTP:404 error (webpage cannot be found). What am i missing?

  • Hello,

    There are a few different causes of this. First, is the domain you are installing WordPress on a new domain? If it is a new domain, it can take 4 to 24 hours for DNS changes to propagate so the login page will display. Similarly, if it is a domain you already owned and either have not changed the nameservers yet or have changed them very recently the login page will not display. Make sure that the domain name is pointed to the correct servers and at least 24 hours has passed.

    If the domain is pointed correctly, it may have just been a corrupted install. You can try to un-install WordPress and install it again to see if that corrects the problem.
