Solution for wp-admin redirect to 404 Page Not Found

December 2nd, 2009

I recently found a solution about this weird problem in Wordpress. If you encountered the same problem I encountered before, then this solution might work for you. If you go to wp-admin and you got redirected to a 404 page, then here’s the solution that worked for me and hopefully it works for you.

I browsed in the WP forums and support pages, but I found nothing that could help me resolve my problem.

What happened is that I accidentally discovered a solution to my small dilemma. After moving my Wordpress files to a new host, the rights of the files and folder was changed.

It was CHMODed to 777. What I did to fix this wp-admin redirect problem is to CHMOD my wp-login.php to 755. You can also CHMOD it to 644 and it will still work.

I hope this post helped others who encountered the same problem as mine.
