How could I still get a failed log-in email when I changed log in area

    I just changed my settings to brute force, where I changed the entire log in URL. But I am still getting failed log-in notices? How is this even possible? I just went to the old URL (/wp-login) and it has an error page and the new URL seems to be fine. What gives?
    I even put a CAPTCHA on the log in page – I shouldn’t be getting ANY failed log ins cuz no one should know where the log in page is…..correct?

    The LAST time I did this, it REVERTED back to the wp log in URL…isn’t this supposed to be permanent? I did use the same changed URL, but since I told no one, I’m thinking it’s secure and the hackers are trying another way I’m not familiar with? My security score is 120 – I wish I could get it up even higher but I’m new to all this.

    I have the latest version of WP, but don’t know where to locate the version of All in One.

    Hi, when you use the Brute Force feature you can only log in with the secret word and nothing else. If you try any other URL you will receive the error you mentioned above. That means the plugin is doing it’s job.
