 * I installed the iTheme Security free. I have checked the button Enable the hide
   backend feature. When I login, I get redirect back to the site itself. When I
   type in the login area I get in the back-end. Why is this happening? When I’m
   in the back-end, in the address bar, there is wp-admin showing, instead of the
   slug I entered. Is that correct?

 * and when I logout, I get the 404 error page, instead I go to the site itself.
   How can I fix this?
