    I also hit this problem. I solved it by:

    Renaming the wps-hide-login in the plugins directory to wps-hide-login99.

    Logging into the website dashboard normally.

    Renaming the wps-hide-login99 in the plugins directory back to wps-hide-login

    Reactivating the plugin

    Checked wp_options to ensure setting correct.

    Hello, same issue on my website. I solved it by private navigation or kill all session cookies.

    Same problems. Had to rename plugin folder to proceed. Dubious about using this plugin moving forward, seems very incomplete if I cannot update WordPress with this plugin activated.

    Hello, I have the same problem. I migrated my wordpress installation to a new host. It was working fine before and worked fine after the migration.

    My mistake? After migrating, I tried changing the login URL and the 404 page via the WPS Hide Login settings page. After doing that, I got a 404 page whenever I tried to login on the new admin URL or the default wp-admin URL or even the old admin URL.

    The only workaround seems to be login in via SSH and disabling the WPS Hide Login from the linux CLI, like posted above. This enables the wp-admin URL and I can login again. After doing maintenance on the site I re-enable WPS Hide Login plugin so nobody (including me) can login via web anymore! This is obviously not the way this plugin is intended to work, I believe.

    I have verified that the new admin login URL is in wp_options by using the following URL:

    https://<my site.com>/wp-admin/options.php

    This last hack only works with the WPS Hide Login plugin disabled, of course.

    I have “refreshed” permalinks by going to the WP pannel on my site > Settings > permalinks > save

    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling this plugin. Same problem.

    I have tried disabling every other plugins on the site except WPS Hide Login. Same problem.

    Brute force login attacks are a headache, and exposing the wp-admin URL is simply not an option.

    Any suggestions?

    Please help!
