404 error after logging into WordPress

    Hi all

    I have installed a brand new WordPress site at the following location https://www.bio-health.co.uk/wordpress/

    I can only access the log in page via https://www.bio-health.co.uk/wordpress/wp-login.php as the wp-admin option brings out 404 error.

    My problem is, when I enter the log in details on the wp-login.php page it returns ‘404 (Page Not Found) Error’.

    I have tried to solve this by changing folder and file permissions to 755. That did not work.

    I then went onto setting the URL name in the database to the https://www.bio-health.co.uk/wordpress/ -that did not work either.

    I can see some people advise to change the .htaccess file but not sure what exactly I should be deleting or re-writing there.

    If anyone has a solution on what is causing it and how to fix it I would really appreciate it.

    Thank you

    What do you have for the WordPress and Site URLs in the Dashboard settings?

    Hi Matt, thanks for the reply.

    The problem is, I can’t even log into the Dashboard. It is a brand new installation of WordPress and I have not been able to access the Dashboard area at all yet due to this issue.

    Try deleting and reinstalling wordpress again

    Hi I have tried what you said – thank you.

    I deleted all files and uploaded again and getting the same message.

    As before, I can access wp-login.php but not wp-admin, and after log-in it brings up 404 error.

    Do you have access to phpMyAdmin so you can check the values in the database and correct if necessary?

    Hi yes I do have an access to the PhPMyAdmin area.

    I would like to thank everyone that replied to my post.

    I have renamed original .htaccess file to ‘.htaccess_OLD’ and created a new one with the following details:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    It has fixed my issue and I can finally access the Dashboard.
