Can't login to wordpress wp-admin after change of url

Posted on July 3, 2015

I created a droplet with wordpress pre-installed, i was using the site with the IP as the URL for close to a week

I connected my domain name to the droplet and then i logged-in to the wordpress dashboard to also change the site-url in the settings page.

After changing, i couldn’t login again, and i noticed that when i use the right password, it doesn’t show any error, but when i use the wrong password it shows an error.

I have tried to edit the url details from the wp-options table in the database but that ain’t working either. Any help please

i think you don’t change url properly or may be plugin mistake… i found an article on this topic if you want to use plugin… most imp. i used this and my changed admin url work easily http://www.timesofseo.com/guide-to-change-wordpress-admin-login-url-easily/

Based on advice from another site, I cleared all my cookies and it worked. Was about to begin a cursing fit.

Yeah I broke my link completely…
