    Hello,

    Firstly thanks for working hard on such a great plugin.
    I checked “Block direct access to wp-login.php and return HTTP 404 Not Found Error” but a standard 403 page is still being served when I go to the previous admin page.

    In order to show my templates 404 page, do I need to make some sort of change with my hosting provider? I imagine this is due to my hosting provider serving the 403 page.

    Thansk again

    Hi!

    1. Probably you checked Write failed login attempts to the file by chance?
    2. Have you ever seen your 404 page in real?
    3. Can you switch to the default WP theme and check how 404 page works?

    Hi Gioni,
    1. No – I did not check “Write failed login attempts to the file”.
    2. Yes I can access my themese 404 page (if I try access a non existent URL).
    3. When I switch to WP theme, likewise I can only access the 303 page when I go to the previous admin login page.

    Any other ideas? Thanks again

    I don’t understand your third point. You switched to the default WP theme, tried to access wp-login.php and got 303 redirect page instead 404?

    Yes I switched back to a WP theme and tried to access wp-login.php and got a 303 redirect page instead 404?

    So from both a WP theme and the one I use, I am being redirected to a 303 page instead of the templates 404 page. However if I go to any other non existent URL, my template serves me the 404 page.

    Any idea why? Thanks in advance!

    What address do you get with 303 response, what is the page your browser is redirected to?
