  Hello,

  I’ve tried in multiple browsers, and the client says it’s working for him.

  When I go to websiteaddress.com/wp-admin/ it’s redirecting me to websiteaddress.com (actual urls not shown for clients privacy). The site is a wordress.com website. Please advise.

  Regards,
  Joe

  If it isn’t your site what user role have you been given? This support doc https://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/ says:

  Note: Added users cannot log in using /wp-admin/, only the original creator/owner can. In order for added users to log in, use wordpress.com.
