OctoberCMS<\/a> is an open source content management system (CMS) available to install from Softaculous<\/a>. After installing it, you may realize that the login URL is different from many others. There\u2019s no admin<\/em> or login<\/em> in the URL unless you change the default option. There\u2019s no login button on the homepage either. Below we\u2019ll cover logging into OctoberCMS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering a new hosting plan? Check out our Shared Hosting<\/a> with free Softaculous<\/a> license and easy-to-use SSH access<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Log into OctoberCMS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To log into OctoberCMS, type your domain and add \/[your-custom-admin-folder]<\/em> to the end. If you used the default setup options, add \/backend<\/em> to the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> If you installed OctoberCMS to a subdomain, the login URL would be your created subdomain in cPanel<\/a> or [yourdomain.com]\/[foldername] <\/em>with the admin folder name at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Log into OctoberCMS with your username and password. If successful, you\u2019ll be redirected to the admin dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"OctoberCMS<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Forgot Your Password?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you input the wrong password 5 times, your IP address will be suspended from accessing the user account for 15 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re unable to log into OctoberCMS, click Forgot your password?<\/strong> at the bottom. Type your login username and click Restore<\/strong> to receive a reset email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning:<\/strong> You\u2019ll only receive the email if you\u2019ve updated the email configuration in OctoberCMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Login Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For more login options, you can install a plugin<\/a> for the ability to log into OctoberCMS with Facebook<\/a>, Google<\/a>, or multiple social media accounts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After you log into OctoberCMS, you\u2019re ready to edit pages and install plugins<\/a> for additional functionality. You can enable Maintenance mode<\/a> to only show important information for security and providing necessary contact information in the meantime. We recommend including at least your email address or social media accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a free or paid SSL certificate<\/a> on your website? We recommend a paid SSL<\/a> for websites that request user\u2019s personally identifiable information (PII) \u2013 e.g. credit card info \u2013 such as e-commerce websites. AutoSSL<\/a>, the free SSL that is auto-enabled forever, suffices for websites without such requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Afterwards, we recommend you force https (SSL) in OctoberCMS<\/a>. When you are ready to add other users to your site, follow this guide on how to manage user account settings in OctoberCMS<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
