The problem was 1 of 2 things:
Either the wp-login.php file wasn’t present, or the permalinks structure was corrupt or incorrectly setup in the .htaccess. The solution then is 1 of the following:
- Ensure the file
wp-login.phpfile is present on the site. If not, download the WordPress zip from wordpress.org for your WP version and place it there. - temporarily rename the
.htaccessfile to remove its effect. If this works, log into your WordPress site, goto Settings > Permalinks and then Save.
In this case it was .htaccess which needed rebuilt.
