    hey gioni,

    thx for this great tool! it helped a lot reducing traffic which got my sever down too often. unfortunatley i can t login myself any more. i get a 404 on wp-admin. does it mean the login page is moved? i m using the plugin in mostly default settings. does it move the login page by default? don t think i requested that. unfortunately i also don t get the admin emails, can t find them. i also tried loggin in from different PCs and different IPs but always 404. is there a way? or do i have to do the reset uninstall plugin? what measures to take so this doesn t happen again?

    thx!

    Hi!

    It depends on your settings. If you, by chance or on purpose, have checked Disable wp-login.php you can’t use default wp-login.php anymore.

    Follow these steps:

    1. Remove the plugin folder wp-cerber manually (e.g. using FTP).
    2. Log in to the site as usual using wp-login.php.
    3. Reinstall plugin and check Custom login page section on the Main settings screen of the plugin.
    4. If you have checked Disable wp-login.php you also need to activate Custom login URL. Enter whatever you want in that field.
    5. Check admin email for notification letter.
    6. Remember your new Custom login URL.
