Hello, @laowaiandrew

Can you confirm if only the admin page is not loading or the entire website is now loading for you as well? If you’re using a custom-plugin or rewrite .htaccess rule in order to change the admin page from the standard domain.com/wp-admin I will recommend you to turn of such plugin or temporary comment out the rewrite rules in your .htaccess file.

You can also try to access the admin page with the following link domain.com/wp-login.php

Also, can you share if you’re using Apache or Nginx?

Regards,
Alex

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. Got some helpful advice through the DO ticket and prompt reply. Yes, it was just the wp-admin page. Removed all plug-ins I’m phpmyadmin and was then able to get in to admin. Reloaded permalinks and all good.this was from a backup migration install through plug-in. Thanks,
    Andrew
