If you log in to your WordPress blog from a public computer, like a library’s computer, always be sure to log out when you’re done, otherwise the next person who comes to that computer might have access to your blog.

Step 1 – Visit The WordPress Login Page

In your web browser, type in your WordPress web address (url) in the address bar with /wp-admin at the end.

For example, if your WordPress web address is in your “root” directory (i.e. your domain name), your account login address will look something like this:

http://www.my-site.com/wp-admin

If, however, your WordPress installation is in a different directory, such as /blog, your login page will have a web address similar to this:

http://www.my-site.com/blog/wp-admin

Step 2 – Logging In

Once you arrive on your login page, you will see the login box similar to the image below. Type in your username and password and click Log In.

*Tip – Bookmark your login page. Also, instead of visiting wp-admin in your address bar, you could use wp-login.php – either way works.

How To Log Out Of WordPress

It is a good idea to log out of WordPress when you’re finished, especially if you’re on a public computer. Simply closing the browser window does not necessarily mean you are logging out.

To log out of WordPress, simply go to your WordPress interface (for example, go to your Dashboard) and click the Log Out link located in the top right corner.
