    Thank you Handoko,

    I have added “#” at the beginning of this line:
    “# RewriteRule ^.*wp-admin/?|^.*wp-login\.php /not_found [R,L]”

    Is the plugin still going to be able to ban user who try to intrude?

    Yes, it still will ban users who type wrong password or username. Adding the # above is only disabling hide login feature. It means your login url is now wp-login.php again, also you can access your backend by simply type …/wp-admin.

    Once you gain access to your backend (admin area) you should:

    – Set new login slug (goto menu > Security > Hide Backend > Login Slug).

    – If you don’t want to change the default login, you should disable it, goto menu > Security > Hide Backend > disable the Enable Hide Backend.

    Note:
    If you enable the Hide Backend feature, you will not able to access your admin area by typing domain.com/wp-admin. You will have login to access your admin area by using the new login slug. I hope you understand.
