Logins greeted with 404 error
-
I love this plugin, however, I’ve had more complaints form my staffers that going to the custom login results in a 404 error. I’ve also encountered this myself. The only way to get around this is to either dump my browser cache or use a private window/tab.
Cleaning the cache only works for a while, as the error comes back. Now, I am using WP-Rocket for caching, but even after I disabled this the error returns. I also see a few other people here are having the same issue.
Help 😉

I was having the same problem on about 50% of my sites it was driving me crazy because it worked on some site and others it gave the 404 error! My persistence payed off!
I didn’t have to uninstall the plugin to do this but I did deactivate it before I did it.
Go to
Settings/PermalinkUnder Common Settings Change to:
[Post name]Reactivate the plugin and it should work.
I have not tested any of the other settings but the one I used that it didn’t work on was [Custom Structure.]I would stay logged in until you are sure it works You can click the link
[Your login page is now here: https://yourwebsite/l9w8ilewr4y7/. Bookmark this page!] Click right and open in a new tab.
if you are redirected to admin area it worked if you still see the 404 you can still disable the plugin so you don’t get locked out.You might want to also consider blocking the [/xmlrpc.php] page. I posted more info on of my websites: Secret Hosting about both these issues. https://secret.hosting/wordpress/10/08/2019/wordpress-plugin-wps-hide-login-404-error/
