¿Tiene problemas para acceder al área de administrador de WordPress?
Esto puede deberse a muchas razones diferentes, lo que hace que sea difícil para los principiantes diagnosticar problemas.
En este artículo, le mostraremos qué hacer cuando está bloqueado del administrador de WordPress (wp-admin) para que pueda recuperar el acceso a su sitio.
¿Por qué no puede acceder al administrador de WordPress?
A menudo recibimos noticias de usuarios que no pueden acceder al área de administrador de WordPress. Esto es frustrante y puede paralizar tu productividad. No puedes escribir entradas, responder a comentarios o hacer cualquier trabajo en tu sitio web de WordPress.
Si tiene problemas para acceder al sitio de otra persona, póngase en contacto con el propietario o administrador del sitio para comunicárselo. Ellos podrán explicarte por qué no tienes acceso o colaborar contigo para resolver el problema.
Si usted es el propietario del sitio, puede seguir los pasos que le indicamos a continuación para diagnosticar el problema.
Hay unas cuantas razones por las que podrías estar bloqueado en el administrador de WordPress, así que echemos un vistazo a cada una de ellas una por una. Con suerte, a través de este proceso de eliminación, usted será capaz de encontrar la solución a su problema.
También puedes consultar nuestra guía práctica para diagnosticar incidencias en WordPress para averiguar cuál es la causa del problema y cómo corregirlo. También puede encontrar una solución en nuestra lista de los errores más comunes de WordPress y cómo corregirlos.
Dicho esto, vamos a echar un vistazo a algunos pasos que puede tomar cuando usted está bloqueado del administrador de WordPress. Puede utilizar los siguientes enlaces para navegar rápidamente al mensaje de error que aparece:
- Error Establishing Database Connection
- 500 Internal Server Error
- 404 ‘Not Found’ Error
- 403 Forbidden Error
- 401 Unauthorized Error
- Limited Logins
- White Screen of Death
- Incorrect Password Issue
- Problems With Plugins
- Lost Admin Privileges
- Hacked WordPress Site
- Login Page Refreshing and Redirecting

- PHP Syntax Errors
- Your Site Is Experiencing a Technical Issue
Error al establecer la conexión con la base de datos
¿Ves la advertencia “Error al establecer la conexión con la base de datos” en todas las páginas de tu sitio? Este mensaje se muestra por varias razones, como una base de datos corrupta o problemas con su servidor de alojamiento web.
Si ve este error al intentar acceder, consulte nuestra guía sobre cómo corregir el error al establecer una conexión con una base de datos en WordPress.
500 Error interno del servidor
Otro error de WordPress con el que puede encontrarse un principiante es el “Error interno del servidor”, o a veces “Error interno del servidor 500”. Este error aparece cuando algo va mal, pero el servidor no se ha podido identificar dónde está el problema.
Si aparece este mensaje al intentar acceder a WordPress, siga los pasos de nuestra guía sobre cómo corregir el error 500 de servidor interno en WordPress.
404 Error “No encontrado
A veces, los usuarios cometen un error al cambiar la dirección de WordPress y la dirección del sitio en sus ajustes de WordPress. La siguiente vez que intentan acceder a su área de administrador, aparece el error “Error 404 – No encontrado”.
Si esto te está ocurriendo, entonces puedes comprobar nuestra guía sobre cómo cambiar las URLs de tu sitio WordPress. No podrás usar el Método 1 porque no puedes acceder, pero los otros métodos deberían sacarte del problema.
Nota: Si puedes acceder a tu sitio pero ves el error 404 al ver una de tus entradas, entonces tienes un problema diferente. Puede aprender a corregir el problema en nuestra guía práctica sobre cómo corregir el error 404 en las entradas de WordPress.
Error 403 prohibido
Algunos usuarios informan de que aparece el error “HTTP Error 403 – Forbidden” al intentar acceder a wp-admin. Este error puede deberse a permisos de archivo incorrectos, a una mala codificación de los plugins de seguridad o a la configuración del servidor.
Si ve este error, nuestra guía sobre cómo corregir el error 403 Forbidden en WordPress le ayudará a realizar un seguimiento y solucionar el problema.
401 Error no autorizado
Otro mensaje que puedes ver cuando estás bloqueado en el administrador de WordPress es el error 401. Este error a veces va acompañado de un mensaje que dice: “Acceso denegado debido a credenciales no válidas” o “Autorización requerida”.
Puede ver este mensaje si ha protegido con contraseña su carpeta de administrador de WordPress. También puede deberse a un plugin de seguridad de WordPress o a las medidas de seguridad adoptadas por su empresa de alojamiento.
Consulte nuestra guía sobre cómo corregir el error 401 en WordPress para conocer seis soluciones que le ayudarán a recuperar el acceso a su sitio web.
Accesos limitados
Por defecto, WordPress permite a los usuarios introducir contraseñas tantas veces como quieran. Los hackers pueden intentar aprovecharse de esto utilizando scripts que introducen diferentes combinaciones hasta que tu sitio web se resquebraja.
Para evitarlo, le recomendamos que limite el número de intentos fallidos de acceso por usuario. Sin embargo, esto podría significar que te encuentres bloqueado en tu propio sitio web cuando introduzcas la contraseña incorrecta demasiadas veces.
Si te encuentras en esa situación, entonces debes seguir los pasos de nuestra guía sobre cómo desbloquear Limitar intentos de acceso en WordPress.
Pantalla blanca de la muerte
¿Está viendo una pantalla blanca en su administrador de WordPress? Este problema se conoce a menudo como la pantalla blanca de la muerte de WordPress.
Esto ocurre cuando se agota el límite de memoria. Puede deberse a un plugin o tema con un código deficiente o a un alojamiento web poco fiable.
Si ve este error, consulte nuestra guía sobre cómo corregir la pantalla blanca de la muerte de WordPress.
Problema de contraseña incorrecta
No hay nada más frustrante que te digan que te has equivocado de contraseña cuando estás seguro de que no es así, e incluso has comprobado que el bloqueo de mayúsculas no está activado.
Esto puede ocurrir si has sido víctima de un pirateo informático, o puede que simplemente estés cometiendo un error honesto.
Peor aún, cuando intentas cambiar tu contraseña, nunca recibes el correo electrónico porque va a una dirección a la que ya no tienes acceso.
Por suerte, hay otra manera, y puedes restablecer tu contraseña de WordPress desde phpMyAdmin. Este método puede ser un poco abrumador para los nuevos usuarios, pero es su mejor esperanza para recuperar el acceso a su área de administrador.
Problemas con los plugins
Puede que no puedas acceder al administrador de WordPress debido a un plugin o tema defectuoso. Este puede ser el caso si no puedes acceder al administrador de WordPress después de instalar un nuevo plugin o si el mensaje de error menciona ‘wp-content/plugins/’.
Para recuperar el acceso a su sitio, tendrá que desactivar temporalmente sus plugins. Puede hacerlo mediante FTP o phpMyAdmin siguiendo nuestra guía práctica sobre cómo desactivar todos los plugins cuando no puede acceder a wp-admin.
Pérdida de privilegios de administrador
A veces, puedes acceder al administrador de WordPress, pero no ves ninguna de las funciones de administración. Por ejemplo, no tienes acceso a tus temas o plugins.
Esto puede ocurrir si sus permisos de usuario fueron modificados. Puede ser que los hackers hayan infectado tu sitio y luego hayan borrado tus privilegios de administrador.
En este caso, debe añadir un usuario administrador a la base de datos de WordPress a través de MySQL (phpMyAdmin).
Sitio WordPress pirateado
Si sospecha que su sitio ha sido pirateado, debe tomar otras medidas.
Un sitio web pirateado puede tener un aspecto diferente, mostrar contenidos distintos o reproducir automáticamente música u otros medios. Peor aún, puede estar infectando a sus visitantes con virus, por lo que debe actuar con rapidez.
Puedes empezar con nuestra guía para principiantes sobre cómo corregir tu sitio WordPress hackeado. Le mostraremos cómo identificar el hackeo, restaurar su sitio desde una copia de seguridad y eliminar cualquier malware.
Después, debes proteger tu sitio de futuros ataques. Te mostramos cómo hacerlo en nuestra guía definitiva sobre seguridad en WordPress.
Actualizar / redireccionar la página de acceso
Otro tipo de error de acceso se produce cuando la página de acceso de WordPress se actualiza constantemente y vuelve a la pantalla de acceso.
Esto puede ocurrir debido a valores incorrectos para los campos URL del sitio y URL de la página de inicio en la tabla de opciones de WordPress. También puede deberse a una mala configuración de los ajustes de enlaces permanentes o de las redirecciones establecidas en el archivo .htaccess.
Para corregir este problema, compruebe nuestra guía sobre cómo corregir el problema de actualización y redirección de la página de acceso de WordPress.
Error “Se ha desactivado”.
Cuando intenta acceder a su área de administrador de WordPress, ¿ve el error ‘Esto ha sido desactivado’? Este mensaje aparece cuando te has equivocado de dirección de administrador.
Una práctica común de seguridad de WordPress es cambiar la URL de acceso del administrador por defecto (domain.com/wp-admin) a algo personalizado. Esto puede ayudar a prevenir que hackers y bots martilleen tu URL de acceso intentando acceder.
Si olvidas que la URL ha sido cambiada y vas a la antigua, entonces verás este mensaje de error. Si has olvidado la dirección correcta, entonces deberías marcar / comprobar nuestra guía práctica para principiantes sobre cómo encontrar tu URL de acceso a WordPress.
Error “Brevemente no disponible por mantenimiento programado”.
¿Estás viendo el error ‘Brevemente no disponible por mantenimiento programado’ en WordPress? Este error suele aparecer al actualizar el núcleo, los plugins o los temas de WordPress.
Pero si su sitio de WordPress no termina la actualización, entonces se queda atascado en el modo de mantenimiento.
Para corregir el problema, debería comprobar nuestra guía sobre cómo corregir el error Brevemente no disponible por mantenimiento programado en WordPress. La guía también explicará por qué se produce el error y cómo evitarlo en el futuro.
Errores de sintaxis PHP
Los errores PHP pueden ocurrir después de pegar un fragmento de código de un tutorial o sitio web de WordPress. Un código incorrecto puede hacer que tu sitio web deje de funcionar correctamente y que no puedas acceder.
A menudo, los principiantes utilizan el editor integrado de WordPress desde su escritorio. Esta característica es útil, pero puede llevar al desastre si no sabes lo que estás haciendo.
Por eso escribimos nuestra guía para principiantes sobre cómo pegar fragmentos de código de la web en WordPress.
Nota: En muchos casos, es más seguro utilizar un plugin de fragmentos de código como WPCode en lugar de introducir directamente código personalizado. Para más detalles, puede consultar nuestra guía sobre cómo añadir código personalizado de forma segura en WordPress.
Si está bloqueado en el administrador de WordPress debido a un fragmento de código, entonces tendrá que corregir el problema manualmente usando un programa FTP como FileZilla para acceder a sus archivos. Si no estás familiarizado con FTP, entonces marca / comprueba nuestra guía para principiantes sobre FTP.
Una vez que se haya conectado a su sitio de WordPress mediante el software FTP, deberá seguir nuestra guía sobre cómo corregir errores de sintaxis en WordPress para corregir o eliminar el código que ha añadido.
Su sitio está experimentando una incidencia técnica
A veces, al intentar acceder a su área de administrador de WordPress, puede ver una pantalla blanca o un mensaje que dice: “El sitio está experimentando dificultades técnicas. Por favor, marque / compruebe la bandeja de entrada de correo electrónico del administrador del sitio para obtener instrucciones’.
Deberá acceder a su cuenta de correo electrónico de administrador y abrir su bandeja de entrada.
Deberías recibir un correo electrónico automático de WordPress que te indicará qué tema o plugin está causando problemas en tu sitio. También le enlazará para que pueda acceder / acceder a su administrador de WordPress.
Simplemente haga clic en el enlace y podrá acceder al administrador de WordPress en modo de recuperación. A continuación, tendrás que desactivar el plugin o tema que causa los problemas en tu sitio.
Sin embargo, es posible que no reciba este correo electrónico con el enlace de acceso. En ese caso, consulta nuestra guía sobre cómo utilizar el modo de recuperación de WordPress.
Esperamos que este tutorial te haya ayudado a corregir el problema de ‘bloqueo del administrador de WordPress’. Puede que también quieras aprender a elegir el mejor alojamiento para WordPress o comprobar nuestra lista de plugins imprescindibles para hacer crecer tu sitio web.

Hello,
My browser crashed whilst I was attempting to change the URL of my site on wp-admin and now I’m unable to access the log in page or see the site.
When I type in the URL of the site, I get the error message: This site is currently undergoing maintenance, and will be back shortly.
When I type in the /wp-admin URL it shows me to a log in screen and I enter my details only for it to return the error message: This site is currently undergoing maintenance, and will be back shortly.
Is anyone able to help?

I have an inactive wordpress site (about a year) and I cannot log in to the admin panel. I’m trying to either change it and start using it again or closing it out.
My issue was that I couldn’t remember the password and when I tried to reset it it would accept none of my email addresses.
Can someone please help? I’ve been searching for the answer and can’t find anything about not having access through email.

Seems like it is a WordPress.com website. In that case you may want to contact their support and they will be able to help you out.

I locked myself out by installing a re-captcha plug-in, enabling it for log-in screen and then logging myself out. Unfortunately my log-in screen is created by another plug in and they don’t seem to be compatible.

Hello,
So people from my work asked me to update the website but the guy who made it is gone and they can’t reach him. So I made a new website but now we can’t bring down the old one. Is it possible to do so without having the login? Cause they own the business but didn’t do the website…
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Eliza,
You will need to connect to your hosting account dashboard. This is where the old website’s files are stored. You may contact the hosting company and ask them for help. There are online tools that you can use to find out where the old website is hosted.

Is it possible to get locked out when I’ve tried to log in for too many times? I was creating a code for a modal type login and had to log in and out several times to check. Would that be one of the possible reason why I’ll be locked out?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Eymiel,
By default, WordPress doesn’t stop users from attempting to login. You can try as many times as you like. However, you can use plugins like Limit Login Attempts to change this.

I work for a medical supply manufacturer. We had our site designed by a web development company. The relationship has ended. We were never given the admin user name and password. Is there anyway where we can get access to the admin features? The developer won’t respond to our calls or messages.

Hi Stephen,
If you have access to the web hosting account for the website then you can use that to recover WordPress password using phpMyAdmin. If you don’t have access to the hosting account, then you cannot access the website.

I just switched my website over from WordPress.com yesterday. Everything was working fine or so I thought. Today I tried to log into my site via the /wp-admin/ page, but it is telling me that my e-mail, username, and password are all invalid. I tried to reset the password, but it told me there was no account linked to the address or the username.
I KNOW I am using the right information. I have tried to login on my phone, through the app, and on my computer. The only way I can get to the dashboard is by going to BlueHost and clicking on “My Sites.” It doesn’t even give me the option to log into WordPress from there.
I am so frustrated. PLEASE HELP!

Hello – I don’t know if you can help me. I had a personal site & blog with a domain hosted through godaddy. Some time passed and I apparently forgot to renew my domain subscription – and I lost my rights to this domain. (I can currently buy it back for $1500- yikes). In any case, I’m fine with changing my domain, but in the meantime I want to access my admin dashboard to access what I had on my wordpress page (pictures, blogs, content, etc). I can’t use the normal log-in as I no longer have the domain – is there a back door to access this?

Problem is, there is no code on that line at all. I’ve been on this for the last couple hours and can’t seem to crack it. I was playing around with the code before as it was bouncing me around to different lines of code where paste error syntax codes were but started again from the original ‘broken’ code and i’m left here.

Hi there.
I made an error now I can’t log into my WP admin panel.
How my error happened:
When I was logged in to the Dashboard I went to Settings, General, and changed the email address in both the WordPress Address (URL) box & the Site Address (URL) box, then saved, then I causing me to lose access to my admin panel & get this message when I try to log in.:
“Error 404 – Not Found
The document you are looking for may have been removed or re-named. Please contact the web site owner for further assistance.”
When I FTP into my domain I don’t know what to change or how to change it.
Can you help me?
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Donna,
You can try this. Connect to your website using FTP and look for wp-config.php file. Download this file to your computer and open it in a text editor like Notepad.
Locate the line that says ‘/* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */’
Just before this line add this code:
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
Replace example.com with your website’s address. First try with www. and if that doesn’t work try without www.
Save the file and upload it back to your website’s root folder using FTP.
Hopefully this will resolve your issue.

No matter how I try to access my dashboard, I get a simple white page with the word “error” in the upper left hand corner. I’m seeing the error :locked out due to too many login attempts” but I haven’t logged into my account AT ALL in over a month.

I had someone to build me a site. Well he did and messed me over on it. He set my privileges to certain things and really did a crappy job with my site. I can’t do anything to it or with it. He has administrator privileges and Won’t let me have them. Is there a way to take it over change passwords and have control of my site? I have paid him all I intend to which was an agreed upon amount. I just want a way to have full control of my site.
WPBeginner Support says
If you have access to the hosting account and control panel then you can add a new admin user via phpmyadmin. You can also add a new admin user via FTP. After that you can login to your WordPress site and delete his account.
Make sure you update all passwords for hosting, FTP, WordPress, etc.

Hi,

WPBeginner Support says
Please see our WordPress troubleshooting guide for step by step instructions. You will need to edit your functions.php file using FTP or File Manager.

I messed up the functions section and now the site is broken and apparently I can’t change the code in my WordPress admin. I also can’t access the site via the FTP program (it can’t connect me to the server) and I don’t know what to do.
WPBeginner Support says
You can also access your website using File Manager. It is a web based FTP program that you can access from your web hosting dashboard. Simply login to your hosting account and on the cPanel dashboard look for File Manager.
You can also contact your hosting provider to help you fix this issue, or send you FTP credentials.

I recently installed a plugin to a website I am currently designing for a client and now am locked out of the wp-admin area. I cannot be able to login to the site’s C-panel so that maybe I can delete the plugin. The error that shows up is:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function et_get_option() in /home/firetech/public_html/wp-content/plugins/DiviLogin/main.php on line 19
How do I get out of this.
WPBeginner Support says
You will need access to either cPanel or FTP to deactivate the plugin.
