XF 2.3 Can't Login ... is there another link to login into XF?

When ever I go to for example

www.forums/admin.php

it just redirects me to www.forums.com which is my wordpress homepage url.

No login portal appears.

From what you are describing it looks like to me that you have installed Wordpress at the root. And then when you go at your root url/admin.php you get redirected. Are you trying to get to your Wordpress admin panel or XenForo's? If the former I think the best place to ask that is at the Wordpress site since it's related to it.

If the latter can you please tell us at what folder or url have you installed XenForo? Because the link to the admin panel must be connected to the url of the forum.

XF 2.1 Post in thread 'Deactivate 2FA'

Jan 30, 2020

You will need to edit your src/config.php file and add the following:

$config['enableTfa'] = false;

You will then be able to log in. You will then be able to disable 2FA for your account in the "Password and security" page of your account.

Once you have done that, you will be able to remove the line you added above and, ideally, re-add 2FA.

We'd strongly recommend admins enable 2FA for their accounts and potentially other admins.

FWIW we'd generally recommend using Authy rather than Google Authenticator. It provides various improvements including cloud storage and...
