Cant login to my wordpress site all of a sudden getting a 404 for the admin page

  • Not sure what happened, but all of a sudden I can’t login to my wordpress site?
    I hadn’t even finished setting it up.
    Whenever I try and navigate to it, from bluehost.com, I get a 404 for all pages.

    Whenever I try and just navigate to the wordpress page (using incognito in chrome), I get sent to a simple page that includes the

  • Hi @financesquared, it’s not clear to me exactly what happened while setting up your WordPress website, but I’d recommend looking into taking the following steps to troubleshoot:

    • Use the website control panel provided by your hosting provider (BlueHost) to attempt setting up the site again.
    • Contact your host (BlueHost) for support specific to your account: https://www.bluehost.com/contact
    • If you are comfortable troubleshooting websites, try downloading WordPress again, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel, and delete then replace your copies of everything except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all your core files without damaging your content and settings.

    Good luck, and I hope you can resolve the issues with your website soon.

    So I ended up deleting my site and then reinstalling wordpress. Not sure what happened, but at least I know how to get it back to the way it was.
