  • hello sir ,

    I am using drupal 7 vesion

    my first question is that what is the super admin url for login

    is it   

    https://localhost/drupal/admin

    or anything else

    and if i create my new theme in drupal that time iam not able to login by  given upper url so can you define how i can login in my admin pannel and aslo please suggest me proper theme creating process

    • The login page should be located here:

      https://www.your-website-name.com/?q=user/login

      OR

      https://www.your-website-name.com/user

      I’m not entirely sure what you are asking about logging in given the upper URL. As for a guide to developing a Drupal theme, we dont have an article but I’d suggest starting here:

      Theming and Front End Development with Drupal

  • https://localhost/drupal/admin

    https://localhost/drupal/?q=admin

    a password to log in is exactly but i can’t login.

    Hope your replying. Thanks!

    • Hello hophuong,

      Thank you for your question. If your password/username combination is not working in Drupal 7, you may have to reset your Admin Password.

      If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.

      Thank you,
      John-Paul

  • I create a custom theme using drupal 7 when i logout who can i login again i try all things like www.mydomainname.com/user and www.mydomainname.com/q=user but i canot find admin login form. please help me.

    • Hello Umar,

      Be sure you have the question mark in the URL when using https://example.com/?q=user

      Other than that, the URL should work and present a login section. If not, then you may have done something in the theme to prevent it.

      Kindest Regards,
      Scott M
