In questo articolo vi mostreremo cosa fare quando siete bloccati dall’amministrazione di WordPress (wp-admin) in modo da poter riottenere l’accesso al vostro sito.
Perché siete bloccati fuori dall’amministrazione di WordPress?
Ci capita spesso di sentire utenti che sono bloccati dall’area di amministrazione di WordPress. Questo è frustrante e può portare a un blocco della produttività. Non è possibile scrivere post, rispondere ai commenti o svolgere qualsiasi attività sul proprio sito WordPress.
Se avete problemi ad accedere al sito di qualcun altro, dovete contattare il proprietario o l’amministratore del sito per informarlo. Questi potranno spiegarvi perché non avete accesso o collaborare con voi per risolvere il problema.
Se siete il proprietario del sito, potete seguire i passaggi di risoluzione dei problemi indicati di seguito.
Ci sono alcuni motivi per cui potreste essere bloccati dall’amministrazione di WordPress, quindi analizziamoli uno per uno. Speriamo che, attraverso questo processo di eliminazione, riusciate a trovare la soluzione al vostro problema.
Potete anche consultare la nostra guida alla risoluzione dei problemi di WordPress per scoprire cosa sta causando il problema e come risolverlo. Potreste trovare una soluzione anche nel nostro elenco degli errori più comuni di WordPress e di come risolverli.

Errore nella connessione al database
State vedendo l’avviso “Errore nello stabilire la connessione al database” su ogni pagina del vostro sito? Questo messaggio viene visualizzato per vari motivi, come ad esempio un database corrotto o problemi con il server di web hosting.
Se si verifica questo errore quando si tenta di accedere, consultare la nostra guida su come risolvere l’errore di stabilire una connessione al database in WordPress.
500 Errore interno del server
Un altro errore di WordPress in cui un principiante può imbattersi è “Internal Server Error” (errore interno del server), o talvolta “500 Internal Server Error” (errore interno del server). Questo errore viene visualizzato quando c’è qualcosa che non va, ma il server non è in grado di identificare il problema.
Se vedete questo messaggio quando cercate di accedere a WordPress, seguite i passaggi della nostra guida su come risolvere l’errore 500 internal server in WordPress.
Errore 404 “Non trovato
A volte gli utenti sbagliano a modificare l’indirizzo di WordPress e l’indirizzo del sito nelle impostazioni di WordPress. La volta successiva che cercano di accedere all’area di amministrazione, visualizzano l’errore “Errore 404 – Non trovato”.
Se vi succede, potete consultare la nostra guida su come cambiare l’URL del vostro sito WordPress. Non sarà possibile utilizzare il metodo 1 perché non è possibile accedere, ma gli altri metodi dovrebbero risolvere il problema.
Nota: se riuscite ad accedere al vostro sito ma vedete l’errore 404 quando visualizzate uno dei vostri post, il problema è un altro. Per sapere come risolvere il problema, consultate la nostra guida su come risolvere l’errore 404 dei post di WordPress.
Errore 403 Forbidden
Alcuni utenti riferiscono di aver riscontrato l’errore “HTTP Error 403 – Forbidden” quando cercano di accedere a wp-admin. Questo errore può essere causato da permessi di file errati, da plugin di sicurezza mal codificati o dalla configurazione del server.
Se state riscontrando questo errore, la nostra guida su come risolvere l’errore 403 Forbidden in WordPress vi aiuterà a individuare e risolvere il problema.
401 Errore non autorizzato
Un altro messaggio che potreste vedere quando siete bloccati fuori dall’amministrazione di WordPress è l’errore 401. Questo errore è talvolta accompagnato da un messaggio che dice: “L’accesso è negato a causa di credenziali non valide” o “È necessaria l’autorizzazione”.
Questo messaggio può essere visualizzato se la cartella di amministrazione di WordPress è protetta da password. Può anche essere causato da un plugin di sicurezza di WordPress o dalle misure di sicurezza adottate dalla società di hosting.
Consultate la nostra guida su come risolvere l’errore 401 in WordPress per conoscere sei soluzioni che vi aiuteranno a recuperare l’accesso al vostro sito web.
Accesso limitato
Per impostazione predefinita, WordPress consente agli utenti di inserire le password quante volte vogliono. Gli hacker possono tentare di sfruttare questo aspetto utilizzando script che inseriscono diverse combinazioni fino a far crollare il vostro sito web.
Per evitare ciò, si consiglia di limitare il numero di tentativi di accesso falliti per utente. Tuttavia, questo potrebbe significare che l’utente si ritrova bloccato dal proprio sito web quando inserisce troppe volte la password sbagliata.
Se vi trovate in questa situazione, seguite i passaggi della nostra guida su come sbloccare il limite dei tentativi di accesso in WordPress.
Schermata bianca della morte
Vedete una schermata bianca nell’amministrazione di WordPress? Questo problema è spesso indicato come la schermata bianca della morte di WordPress.
Questo accade quando si esaurisce il limite di memoria. Potrebbe essere causato da un plugin o un tema mal codificato o da un hosting web inaffidabile.
Se state riscontrando questo errore, consultate la nostra guida su come risolvere la schermata bianca della morte di WordPress.
Problema della password errata
Non c’è niente di più frustrante che sentirsi dire che si è usata la password sbagliata quando si è sicuri di non averla usata e si è anche controllato che il blocco delle maiuscole non sia attivo.
Questo può accadere se si è stati vittima di un hackeraggio, oppure se si è semplicemente commesso un errore onesto.
Peggio ancora, quando si cerca di cambiare la password, non si riceve mai l’e-mail perché viene inviata a un indirizzo a cui non si ha più accesso.
Fortunatamente, c’è un altro modo: potete resettare la password di WordPress da phpMyAdmin. Questo metodo può essere un po’ complicato per i nuovi utenti, ma è la migliore speranza per riottenere l’accesso all’area di amministrazione.
Problemi con i plugin
Potreste essere bloccati dall’amministrazione di WordPress a causa di un plugin o di un tema difettoso. Questo può accadere se non riuscite ad accedere all’amministrazione di WordPress dopo aver installato un nuovo plugin o se il messaggio di errore menziona “wp-content/plugins/”.
Per riottenere l’accesso al vostro sito, dovrete disattivare temporaneamente i vostri plugin. Potete farlo utilizzando FTP o phpMyAdmin, seguendo la nostra guida passo passo su come disattivare tutti i plugin quando non si riesce ad accedere a wp-admin.
Privilegi amministrativi persi
A volte si riesce ad accedere all’amministrazione di WordPress, ma non si vedono le funzionalità dell’amministrazione. Ad esempio, non si ha accesso ai temi o ai plugin.
Questo può accadere se i permessi dell’utente sono stati modificati. Potrebbe essere che degli hacker abbiano infettato il vostro sito e poi cancellato i vostri privilegi di amministratore.
In questo caso, è necessario aggiungere un utente amministratore al database di WordPress tramite MySQL (phpMyAdmin).
Sito WordPress violato
Se si sospetta che il proprio sito sia stato violato, è necessario adottare altre misure.
Un sito web violato può avere un aspetto diverso, visualizzare contenuti diversi o riprodurre automaticamente musica o altri media. Peggio ancora, potrebbe infettare i vostri visitatori con dei virus, quindi dovete agire rapidamente.
Potete iniziare con la nostra guida per principianti su come riparare il vostro sito WordPress violato. Vi mostreremo come identificare l’hack, ripristinare il vostro sito da un backup e rimuovere eventuali malware.
Dopodiché, dovrete proteggere il vostro sito da attacchi futuri. Vi mostriamo come farlo nella nostra guida definitiva alla sicurezza di WordPress.
Aggiornamento e reindirizzamento della pagina di accesso
Un altro tipo di errore di accesso si verifica quando la pagina di accesso di WordPress continua ad aggiornarsi e a reindirizzare alla schermata di accesso.
Questo può accadere a causa di valori errati per i campi URL del sito e URL della home nella tabella delle opzioni di WordPress. Può anche essere causato da impostazioni di permalink non correttamente configurate o da reindirizzamenti impostati nel file .htaccess.
Per risolvere questo problema, consultate la nostra guida su come risolvere il problema del refresh e del reindirizzamento della pagina di login di WordPress.
Errore ‘Questo è stato disabilitato
Quando cercate di accedere all’area di amministrazione di WordPress, vedete l’errore “Questo è stato disabilitato”? Questo messaggio viene visualizzato quando si accede all’indirizzo di amministrazione sbagliato.
Una pratica comune per la sicurezza di WordPress consiste nel cambiare l’URL di accesso predefinito dell’amministratore (domain.com/wp-admin) con uno personalizzato. Questo può aiutare a prevenire che hacker e bot martellino il vostro URL di accesso cercando di ottenere l’accesso.
Se dimenticate che l’URL è stato cambiato e andate a quello vecchio, vedrete questo messaggio di errore. Se avete dimenticato l’indirizzo corretto, consultate la nostra guida per principianti su come trovare l’URL di accesso a WordPress.
Errore ‘Brevemente indisponibile per manutenzione programmata’.
Avete riscontrato l’errore “Brevemente non disponibile per manutenzione programmata” in WordPress? Questo errore viene solitamente visualizzato durante l’aggiornamento del nucleo di WordPress, dei plugin o dei temi.
Ma se il vostro sito WordPress non riesce a completare l’aggiornamento, rimarrete bloccati in modalità di manutenzione.
Per risolvere il problema, consultate la nostra guida su come risolvere l’errore Brevemente non disponibile per manutenzione programmata in WordPress. La guida spiega anche perché l’errore si verifica e come evitarlo in futuro.
Errori di sintassi PHP
Gli errori PHP possono verificarsi dopo aver incollato uno snippet di codice da un tutorial o da un sito web di WordPress. Il codice sbagliato può impedire al vostro sito web di funzionare correttamente e impedirvi di accedere.
Spesso i principianti utilizzano l’editor integrato di WordPress dalla loro dashboard. Questa funzione è comoda, ma può portare a un disastro se non si sa cosa si sta facendo.
Ecco perché abbiamo scritto la nostra guida per principianti sull’incollaggio di snippet dal web in WordPress.
Nota: in molti casi, è più sicuro utilizzare un plugin per gli snippet di codice come WPCode invece di inserire direttamente il codice personalizzato. Per maggiori dettagli, potete consultare la nostra guida su come aggiungere codice personalizzato in modo sicuro in WordPress.
Se siete bloccati dall’amministrazione di WordPress a causa di uno snippet di codice, dovrete risolvere il problema manualmente utilizzando un programma FTP come FileZilla per accedere ai vostri file. Se non avete familiarità con FTP, consultate la nostra guida per principianti su FTP.
Dopo esservi collegati al vostro sito WordPress utilizzando il software FTP, dovrete seguire la nostra guida su come correggere gli errori di sintassi in WordPress per correggere o rimuovere il codice che avete aggiunto.
Il vostro sito ha un problema tecnico
A volte, quando si cerca di accedere all’area di amministrazione di WordPress, si può vedere una schermata bianca o un messaggio che dice: “Il sito sta incontrando difficoltà tecniche. Controllare la casella di posta elettronica dell’amministratore del sito per ricevere istruzioni”.
È necessario accedere all’account e-mail dell’amministratore e aprire la casella di posta elettronica.
Dovreste ricevere un’e-mail automatica da WordPress che vi indicherà il tema o il plugin che sta causando problemi al vostro sito. Fornisce anche un link di accesso per poter accedere all’amministrazione di WordPress.
È sufficiente fare clic sul link per accedere all’amministrazione di WordPress in modalità di recupero. A questo punto, dovrete disattivare il plugin o il tema che causa i problemi sul vostro sito.
Tuttavia, è possibile che non riceviate questa e-mail con il link di accesso. In questo caso, consultate la nostra guida su come utilizzare la modalità di ripristino di WordPress.
Speriamo che questo tutorial vi abbia aiutato a risolvere il problema del “blocco dell’amministrazione di WordPress”. Potreste anche voler imparare a scegliere il miglior hosting WordPress o controllare il nostro elenco di plugin indispensabili per far crescere il vostro sito 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?
Thanks,

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.

Hi Kelly,
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. The log-in screen does not show the recaptcha and then when I try to log in it says incorrect details. Any ideas?

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?

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?

If your hosting account on GoDaddy is still active, then you can download a backup of your WordPresss site. If you don’t know how to do that, then follow our guide on how to manually create a WordPress backup.

That was on Chrome. So I tried on safari and now it’s telling me my password is wrong when I know for a fact it’s not wrong because I just changed it due to it telling me my password was wrong before the “cookie” error. Im thinking that WordPress just wants to see me suffer..

Hi,
I’ve followed all instructions relating to the above – many thanks so far!
But i’ve hit another wall… Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘$atts’ (T_VARIABLE), expecting ‘{‘ … on line 126.
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.
Any help would be great!!
Thanks so much.

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.
iThemes seems to cause more trouble than offer any security, because the spam comments and constant “new user registrations” keep coming, but my legitimate access of my dashboard is denied.
NOW WHAT?!?! Thanks!

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.

I constantly have someone hacking into my site. They apply words into my content that leads to other sites selling cigarettes etc… I have had numerous different experts fixing it, but it never lasts. It is being hosted through Godaddy. I have also called them, but they keep trying to sell me more security. The experts I hired have added different security, but it doesn’t seem to last. My contact form doesn’t work either, when you fill it out it always says failed to send. I don’t know what else to do. Please help. This website is costing me a fortune.

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.
