The address to access the WordPress administration panel on your local machine (localhost) is:
http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/
Here’s a breakdown:
http://
: This indicates it’s a standard web connection (not secure, but fine for localhost).localhost
: This refers to your own computer.wordpress
: This is the directory where your WordPress installation resides. If you installed it in a different directory, replace “wordpress” with that directory name.wp-admin/
: This is the folder containing the WordPress administration files.
Additional tips:
- Some Local development environments (like XAMPP) might use a different port than the standard 80. In that case, the address might look like
http://localhost:8080/wordpress/wp-admin/
. - If you’ve changed the default WordPress login address for security reasons, the process will be slightly different. You might need to consult your website’s documentation for the new address.
