This is just a quick little tip to make things a little easier for you\u2014and maybe more importantly, for your clients.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve ever found yourself logged out of your site, and you don\u2019t have a link to the admin area on the front end, then of course you can just type in the following to get to the backend.<\/p>\n
mysite.com\/wp-admin<\/pre>\nWhile that\u2019s certainly easy, there\u2019s an even easier way. And, again, maybe more importantly, this will be easier for your clients too. For someone not familiar with WordPress, the \u201cwp-admin\u201d part is hard to remember and even looks messy and complicated.<\/p>\n
And so instead, you can simply type in …<\/p>\n
mysite.com\/admin<\/pre>\nThis will automatically redirect to mysite.com\/wp-admin\/.<\/p>\n
Login Page<\/h2>\n
You can also do the same for logging in. Instead of typing in …<\/p>\n
mysite.com\/wp-login.php<\/pre>\nYou can simply type in …<\/p>\n
mysite.com\/login<\/pre>\nDashboard<\/h2>\n
And one more addition we got from Mike Little (co-founder of WordPress) in the comments, you can also type in …<\/p>\n
mysite.com\/dashboard<\/pre>\nThat’s it. Simple and sweet. Nothing revolutionary, but it might end up becoming part of your everyday repertoire.<\/p>\n
*Note: This only works if you have “pretty permalinks” on. In other words, it won’t work if your site still uses the default permalink style (e.g. mysite.com\/?p=123 \u00a0instead of mysite.com\/post-title). Thanks to\u00a0Dziudek in the comments for this.<\/p>\n
