In WordPress, an administrator logs in and uses Administration Screens (such as the Dashboard) to the control features of a WordPress installation.

Where is the login page?

WordPress themes typically have a login link in the sidebar; but this is not always the case.

The URL of the login page is the URL of the WordPress installation, followed by /wp-admin.

Example: the WordPress installation directory is this:

http://mgdp2060.x10host.com/wp/

So the login page is this:

http://mgdp2060.x10host.com/wp/wp-admin

Note that the installation directory (in subfolder "wp") is different from where the website is displayed (at http://mgdp2060.x10host.com).

You can find the installation directory using View Source in your web browser, and locating a line of HTML similar to this:

<link rel='stylesheet' id='twentysixteen-style-css' 
href='http://mgdp2060.x10host.com/wp/wp-content/themes/twentysixteen/style.css?ver=4.6.1'
type='text/css' media='all' />

In the example above, note the href attribute, which shows the "wp" subfolder.
