# Free Version – Exclude Defaults not active?

 * Support says, “By default we exclude the default WordPress login page [http://example.org/wp-login.php](http://example.org/wp-login.php)
   from showing the coming soon page. We also exclude any url with the term login,
   admin, dashboard and account in it.”
 * Until a recent plugin update, I have found the above to be the case. However,
   I am now experiencing lockouts on wp-login.php, etc. using the free version. 
   Are these default admin level exclusion pages now only settable via the Pro Version?
 * Further in latest *free* Plugin Settings…
 * Access Control > Exclude Defaults (greyed out/disabled on free version) — This
   is set to “NO” ……. “By default we exclude urls with the terms: login, admin, 
   dashboard and account to prevent lockouts.”
 * The way this is worded, and with the setting set to “NO” and not editable, suggests
   that these admin pages can only be excluded in the PRO version.
 * Please clarify.
 * Thank you

 * [@devdjny](https://wordpress.org/support/users/devdjny/) Yes, you are correct
   we excluded the admin by default and the Access Control is available in the Pro
   version where you have an option to enable it to include.
 * It means even the Free version is still excluded.
 * Can you check other plugin/s might conflict on it that it why it’s showing Coming
   Soon or if still can access the admin page, you can access your file then go 
   to wp-content/plugins/ > rename our plugin?

 * Yes, that’s what i’ve been doing… Renaming the plugin to be able to see Admin/
   login page. That’s the only thing that’s working for me. I have no caching on
   the site, which is in early development. After renaming, and logging in, I can
   rename back to proper plugin name and all works well for a few session and then
   this problem resurfaces. I am using default 2021 theme and plugins are minimal.
   I will attempt to deactivate all other plugins when this re-occurs and see if
   there is a conflict by reactivating one at a time.
 * Suggestion: I would change the language of the setting in Access Control to say:
   
   Access Control > Exclude Defaults: YES, since this is quite confusing as NO. 
   The default is they ARE excluded by default = YES. A setting of NO implies that
   they are NOT excluded by default. Does that make sense?

 * I DO realize that the toggle is to set it to NO (and it is actually set to YES).
   Perhaps a set radio buttons would be more clear.

   and the feedback. We will inform our developer of this.
