IMPORTANT NOTE: After you have set up your domain and hosting and have gone through the steps to install WordPress, it may take up to 24 hours for you to be able to login to your WordPress site. If you are still having trouble logging in (the instructions to do so are in the following paragraph) you may have to point your DNS servers to the right IP address. For this, you may have to contact your host’s customer service (chat would be easiest for this) to obtain the IP address to properly point the DNS servers.
In order to log in to your WordPress site, you must type in your website url plus /wp-admin. It should look like this: http://myurl.com/wp-admin.
Once logged in, you will be inside the Dashboard. You may have been prompted to click through some introductory pages, but I usually skip those and go to straight to the dashboard. You are welcome to follow the prompts, if you’d like.
