 * When this plugin is activated on a WP install that is in a subdirectory (like/
   wordpress), you cannot get to the login screen by going to [http://site-name.com/wp-admin](http://site-name.com/wp-admin),
   but rather you have to go to [http://site-name.com/wordpress/wp-admin](http://site-name.com/wordpress/wp-admin).
 * This isn’t an issue for me, but it is confusing to tell my clients that for now,
   your login URL is [http://site-name.com/wordpress/wp-admin](http://site-name.com/wordpress/wp-admin),
   but then after we launch you can shorten it to [http://site-name.com/wp-admin](http://site-name.com/wp-admin).
 * I sometimes provide a link on the coming soon page to make it easy, but then 
   my documentation & examples I provide to clients isn’t consistent or reusable.
   It would just be much easier if /wp-admin would just redirect as it should.
 * Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks!

 * This usually a sign of a misconfigured site. I’ve seen others with this issue
   in the past and it’s usually turns out they have missed a step here.

 * Make sure your site and home url are the same also. Sometimes people put one 
   with a www and the other without that can cause an issue.

 * I’m fairly certain I haven’t misconfigured anything. I’ve noticed this on quite
   a few websites over the last year or so, some were installed manually and some
   installed via Fantastico, but this issue occurs regardless. I double checked 
   the steps you provided; nothing there was new information to me.
 * Let me know if you have any thoughts, questions for me, or are able to reproduce
   this. Thanks!

 * hum, strange I’ll look into it. The plugin only runs on the front end and not
   the admin. I’ll set a test enviroment to confirm! Thanks for the heads up!

 * I just installed Ultimate Coming Soon and have the same problem with logging 
   in. If I try to login at the WordPress Address [http://www.sitename.com/foldernamd/wp-admin](http://www.sitename.com/foldernamd/wp-admin)
   it works, but if I use the Site Address [http://www.sitename.com/wp-admin](http://www.sitename.com/wp-admin)
   it does not work.

 * This is because it’s in a sub folder. Review these instructions for this setup.
