Verification emails rejected with custom login page

    Hello,

    Using the ‘User Registration’ by WPEverest to enroll new members, using double opt-in method to verify email addresses.

    Using the suggested Cerber configuration, the verification email which sends them to http://decisiveliberty.news/wp-login.php?ur_token={token} results in a 404 (expected for incorrect URL). Replacing the wp-login.php portion of the URL with the string we created for the custom login resulted in a 404 as well.

    We had to deactivate 2 switches before the verification link would work correctly – ‘Immediately block IP after any request to wp-login.php’ as well as ‘Block direct access to wp-login.php and return HTTP 404 Not Found Error’. NOT comfortable with that work around…

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi!

    If you want to continue using WP Cerber and that User Registration plugin, guys from WPEverest have to start learning how WordPress actually works. They have to use wp_login_url() instead of hardcoding “wp-login.php”.

    Also, make sure that “Load security engine” is set to “Standard mode”.

    THX Gioni – we have been contemplating on using another registration plugin as it seems as soon as we fix on thing, another pops up… And now we may know why. 🙂 It is a good plugin but as you pointed out, needs some honing…

    As for Cerber, it is the third security plugin we have used, and by far the easiest to implement and maintain…. and now we know why 🙂
