www.mywebsitename.com/admin takes me to my wordpress admin area, not to WHMCS. Ideas on how I redirect this?
This typically means that WordPress is installed at “www.mywebsitename.com” instead of WHMCS. I recommend verifying the location of your WHMCS installation. For example, if you installed it in a /whmcs folder, you may have to navigate to “www.mywebsitename.com/whmcs/admin” to access it. Thank you, John-Paul
