Learn About Your WordPress Dashboard

Your WordPress Dashboard is where it all starts.

You can reach your login page to go to your WordPress dashboard by adding /wp-admin or /wp-login.php after your installation URL.

It should be your domain name or your domain name with the installation folder name. If you installed WordPress in a folder /cms your login will be http://www.example.com/cms/wp-admin

Once you are logged in, you will see the WordPress Dashboard.
