wp-admin 404 not found

  • Hello!
    This is my first post here, but I am deeply thankful for all the extremely useful information found here over time, and I just want to express my gratitude to this community.

    My current issue:
    I am working with an existing domain, I bought a shared hosting (that I know, and I have used before), installed WordPress via cPanel, but now /wp-admin is a 404 not found page.
    The domain still belongs to a Wix site, and the problem should be here.
    It would be ok for me to leave the old website online for a week while I develop the new website on WordPress – but is this possible?
    Or I need to deactivate Wix to get access to my wp-admin page?

    Thanks in advance!

  • I’m sorry I can’t answer you about the 404. When you’ve installed WordPress in the ROOT of your website, this may have caused troubles with your Wix-site, because a website can have just ONE default-startpage, I suppose (index.html, index.php,..).

    About developing a new website: my own experience is:
    (1). Install a new WordPress-website in a subdirectory of the root, for example https://www.mysite.com/WP/ and go and develope the new site. When this site is finished and completely tested, you can make a permanent redirect https://www.mysite.com >> https://www.mysite.com/WP/ (doing this by the ControlPanel of your host).
    (2) If you don’t like this redirection. After finishing the site in the subdirectory, use the plugin “All-in-One-WP-Migration”. With this plugin you can quicly EXPORT the complete finished new WP-site mysite.com/WP/ (files +database) to one big file on your computer. Install a second basic WP-site in the ROOT, only load the plugin there and you can IMPORT your complete wordpress-site FROM your computer. In this way you’ve copied the complete site from ../WP to the root.

    In the source-text of the 404-error I’ve found:
    ng-app=”wixErrorPagesApp”

    So it’s an WIX-error-page, so WordPress is not good installed, I think.

    Thank you Willem0.
    I checked, and the installation is apparently perfect, according to Softaculous.
    You’re right, there must be ONE starting page, but I don’t understand how I manage that.

    Thank for your solution, I will try it eventually. Still I would like to figure out the problem, at least to understand how it works.
