Defender Hide Login is Broken
-
I just installed Defender for the first time, on a brand new WP site.
I activated the Hide Login feature, specified a new url, and selected the feature to redirect all spam/bots from any of the admin areas to a default page.
Then, I logged in using my new url. After login, the system took me to the redirect page rather than the admin area! Also, even though I am logged in as an admin, there is NO WAY to get myself to the back end!!!
So, I disabled the plugin AND deleted it.
Well, guess what, now when I try to go to wp-admin or wp-login.php, I’m still taken to the redirect page I specified!!!
This should NOT happen. EVER.
I get that redirect should work while the plugin is active, and I also get that you have a bug, because once I log in, I SHOULD be able to get to the wp-admin page.
Now I’m in a position where I cannot even get to the backend of the website, even though I’m an administrator (the ONLY user actually).
I cannot think of any way to fix this problem except to completely re-install the entire site.
This SUX big time.
