Sad that there is no response.
This plugin has messed up two of my sites.
I can’t access admin panel or login.
Disabling plugin in FTP does not Help
Hi RudaisVells,
Sorry for delay in reply, we were little busy on new version of plugin.
We are little confuse about your issue, so can you please explain in details.
What you mean default login url it redirects to already logged in dashboard?
If you are unable to access your wp-admin url then you can disable my plugin by rename it’s protect-wp-admin folder to any other one and after that you need to update permalink from admin.
Feel free to contact me on my email raghunath.0087@gmail.com for fast reply.
Thanks

I’m having this same problem.
I installed and activated the plugin. I told it to give me a url of http://www.myblog.com/this-is-admin
When I activated the plugin a popup asked me if I checked for write access on .htaccess file and if I had changed my permalink settings. I looked in permalink and didn’t see anything that would affect the wp-admin url (that’s why I have this plugin) so I’m not sure what to do.
My .htaccess has permissions of 666.
I have the setting “Logout Admin After Add/Update New Admin URL” checked.
When I visit http://www.myblog.com/this-is-admin I get my custom 404 page with the login bar across the top (I thought the plugin was supposed to log me out!)
When I visit http://www.myblog.com/wp-admin I get the normal admin console. I’m already logged in because the plugin didn’t log me out. (I think this is what RudaisVells meant by “already logged in dashboard”).
Great. I logged out on a whim and now I can’t login. http://www.myblog.com/wp-admin just redirects to my site and http://www.myblog.com/this-is-admin gives me my 404 page. I can no longer login as an admin…
How do I disable this plugin from an ssh shell?
I moved wp-content/plugins/protect-wp-admin to wp-content/plugins/protect-wp-admin-bad and was then able to login using http://www.myblog.com/wp-admin
OK. I got it working.
If I set the Admin Slug to “/this-is-admin” then it breaks as above.
If I set the Admin Slug to “this-is-admin” then it works fine.
The placeholder text on the Admin Slug field currently states “Add New Secure Admin URL Slug ( i.e /myadmin )”, but “/myadmin” is invalid input that will break a user’s blog. The placeholder text should be changed to “Add New Secure Admin URL Slug ( i.e myadmin )” and the input should be sanitized such that entering /myadmin doesn’t break things.
Hi bobpaul,
Thanks for describe issue in details and share your knowledge here, it will really help to other users.
Yes, there were textbox place holder message was wrong, it should be without slash (/) but now i have updated textbox place holder message , so now in future it will not confuse user during add new admin slug from admin.
I would request you to leave your valuable feedback by give best rate to my plugin.
Feel free to contact me for any query.
Thanks
Raghunath
