About Installing Wordpress On InfinityFree

[ReeeCity]

For days now, I’ve been struggling to complete Wordpress integration on my InfinityFree website, https://reee.ct.ws

I first installed the free SSL Certificate, then I installed Wordpress afterward. Now, I have Wordpress successfully installed on my website, buh it’s been frustrating to get to the next step from there…

Each time I tried login into my Wordpress admin (https://reee.ct.ws/wp-admin), once I type my password, the next thing is an error message:

“The password you entered for the email address (example@gmailDotCom) is incorrect.”

Then I would click on “Lost your password,” to create a new password. Unfurtunately, after providing the email address so I can recieve relevant instructions in my inbox, there comes another error message:

“The email could not be sent. Your site may not be correctly configured to send emails”

Pls I really do need help here. What am I not doing right?

What’s the right password to use? And why could’nt I recieve an email instructions to resset my password as well?

What did I do wrong from genesis…?

Pls really need help to access my Wordpress admin so I can customize my website.

Is there any easier alternative too? Thank you, expecting feedbacks.

Did you try accessing from the Softaculous panel?

[ReeeCity]

Of course! Installed Wordpress from Softaculous Panel.

Any issue?

Pls I don’t understand what you mean by the screenshot, buh

The screenshot was from the Softaculous panel.

I don’t understand what you mean by the screenshot,

Seems to contradict this

@ReeeCity

Installed Wordpress from Softaculous Panel.

So can you click on red circle to access your WP dashboard?

It sounds like your WordPress installation was successful, but you didn’t properly take note of your admin username and password. If you used Softaculous, then you have to enter your own admin username, and a random admin password will be generated (but you can edit it). The email address is also pre-filled. These are the details you can use to login.

We don’t provide email with our hosting, so sending the password reset emails does not work.

To regain access to the WordPress admin panel, you can do the following:

• Login to Softaculous, go to the All Installations list, and click the button that @KangJL circled. That should log you in to the admin panel. From there, you should be able to check the username and email address, and set a new password.
• If the above doesn’t work for some reason, there are other methods to reset your admin password. WordPress has them all documented, but I recommend the phpMyAdmin method: Reset your password – Documentation – WordPress.org

I’ve clicked on that button, it takes me to cPanel login, asking me to type username and password.

I checked Softaculous for your account and it’s working fine from here.

If you see a cPanel login page, that’s wrong. You cannot login there directly, you must go through the control panel or client area.

But logging in through Softaculous is not a requirement. Again:
