   I've been searching everywhere for the answer to this but can't figure it out so I hope someone can help me with this. I installed the Stealth Login plugin and can't get it to work.

   I enabled the plugin, put in the slugs for login, logout, and admin, click "save changes" and I get a message that says "Settings saved and .htaccess file updated." However, when I check the .htaccess file, it only says:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   # END WordPress

   The .htaccess Output listed on the plugin setting page does not show up in the .htaccess file. I tried to put it into the file manually but it still doesn't work. By not working I mean that once I log out and try to go to the custom login URL, I get an error:

   "Not Found
   The requested URL /blog/mylogin was not found on this server."

   I am using WordPress 2.8.4

   Am I missing a step? What am I doing wrong?

   Well, I finally figured out how to get it to update the .htaccess file. I found that answer here:
   http://www.htmlprimer.com/articles/what-htaccess-file-and-how-make-one

   However, it still doesn't work. This is what it writes:

   # STEALTH-LOGIN
   RewriteRule ^mylogin blog/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=0aa2e728f1 [L]
   RewriteRule ^myadminslug blog/wp-admin/ [R,L]
   RewriteRule ^mylogout blog/wp-login.php?&redirect_to=http://www.mywebsite.com/blog/wp-admin/ [R,L]
   
   # END STEALTH-LOGIN

   I save the settings and it updates the .htaccess, but when I test it out by trying to use the login URL www.mywebsite.com/blog/mylogin it directs me to www.mywebsite.com/blog/blog/wp-admin and gives me my 404 page.

   How do I fix this?
