To login to the backend of your WordPress site you will need to pull up yourdomain.com/login [eg. https://foecreative.com/login]. That will give you access to the login page. From here you can enter the email or username associated with your account and your password to access the backend of your website.

The login page also give you access to the password reset form. If you have lost your login password you can request a password reset which will be sent to the email address associated with your account. If you don’t have access to that email or still can’t sign in reach out to our support team at dev@foecreative.com.
