Cause

The administrative password is not assigned to the WordPress instance.

Resolution

  1. Log into Plesk;

  2. Set up a new administrator password for the instance at Domains > example.com > WordPress > Setup:

    Note: setting up a login to WordPress via Plesk won't remove data. It only changes admin password or creates a new WordPress admin user in case there is no such user registered already.

    In my case the login is missing from the toolkit. I cant see it any where and mydomain.com/wp-admin redirects to the home page mydomain.com

    Hello,


    This is because Wordpress username/passwords are not set from Plesk. Please apply steps from resolution to configure that and you should be able to see "login" button afterwards.
