 * I have 1 main site with 2 subdirectory sites. I changed the name of the wordfence
   plugin using file manager but I am still unable to gain admin access to my site.
   The page in question is a sub directory but I have access to the main site which
   still has wordfence active.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fblocked-from-admin-panel%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@wphyp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wphyp/), thanks for getting in
   touch with us.
 * When you mention changing the name of the Wordfence plugin folder, but the main
   site still having Wordfence active, are these during the same timescale? Are 
   you renaming a subdirectory site plugin folder rather than the main site’s Wordfence
   plugin folder or am I misunderstanding?
 * I don’t see a valid wp-login page in your link either, so has this page been 
   hidden by using a plugin or is it accessed in a different way?
 * Thanks,
 * Peter.

 * First I renamed the I had to disable the subdirectory site plugin folder. However,
   I could not gain access to Wordfence to gain access to [https://www.tryhypnosisnow.com/blog/wp-amin](https://www.tryhypnosisnow.com/blog/wp-amin).
   I had to disable the site plugin folder for the main site tryhypnosisnow.c in
   order to regain admin access. I would like to continue using Wordfence if this
   issue is fixed.
