I can't login to my wordpress dashboard, redirects to homepage

    My site has been established for a few years. I had a few security issues which have been resolved. My website functioned normally for a few days. Two days ago I updated my password and also the WP update automatically happened yesterday. When I attempt to login via https://www.bohemianweddings.co.uk/wp-login.php
    It shows the login page. I then enter my username and password.
    They are accepted, however it takes me to my home page and not the wordpress dashboard.

    I have done the following :

    Cleared Cookies to resolve login Issues
    Tried 4 different browsers including incognito
    A different internet connection
    Deactivated All Plugins
    Reverted Back to the Default Theme and other themes
    Delete .htaccess File tried it and then put it back
    Update / defined the Site URL

    Changed passwords
    Tried logging in via cpanel/ wordpress tools
    Contacted the host and been sent links by them to reset password to no avail. They could not help me further.

    Checked the DB version matches in ftp files to my database.

    So what next?

    Hey there, you’ve posted your question in the support forums for sites hosted by WordPress.com, but your above site bohemianweddings.co.uk is hosted on BlueHost and appears to be using the standalone WP (org) software.

    Standalone WP (org) and WordPressdotcom (where we are) are different entities with different documentation and support forums; more information about the differences can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    You can find all the support information for sites using the WP (org) software at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page and at https://wordpress.org/support/ If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums, you can register one on that page.

    You should also be able to approach support at Bluehost for this issue.

    Best wishes for a quick resolution.
