 * Hello,
 * I installed this plugin to apply wp-admin and wp-login aliases. I copied my new
   url and safe recovery url. After applying the change and being logged out, I 
   could not reach the login page with my new url. The recovery url with hmu_disable
   also does not work.
 * I have disabled the plugin by renaming the plugin directory, and I can reach 
   the login screen, but I get a “reauth=1” redirect loop. I have tried changing
   salts, clearing the wp_usermeta session_tokens, flushing rewrite rules and changing.
   htaccess to original rewrite rules… all to no avail.
 * How do I back this out now and save my site?
 * Ben

 * Hey,
 * If you already deleted the plugin directory, look into the wp_config.php file
   and remove the line with:
    define( ‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’ ….
 * It should be back to the default settings.
 * Do you use another security plugin? I would like to test why you got that issue.
 * Best regards,
    John
