WPS Hide Login bars access

    Last week an upgrade to the All In One Security plugin killed access to any login URL. With help, I ended up deleting it and haven’t dared, sadly, to install it again. In deleting it, the login URL reverted to the default, wp-login.php, whereas in the past I’d had a custom login URL.

    With everything fixed (give or take security issues), I wanted to try customizing the login URL again, this time using WPS Hide Login. I installed it and set a custom URL. But sadly, I could no longer log in. I of course tried the URL I had just entered in the plugin’s setting, but nope! What could be going on? I had to delete the plugin’s folder, which of course restored access.

    Some progress perhaps? I tried installing the plugin again and went into settings to set a login URL before closing WP. When I went to that field to enter a URL, it displayed what I’d entered before but, unless I’d made a typo, incorrectly.

    Here’s how. Now, my WP installation is in a folder, not the domain’s root. Call it wp for now. I thought I had therefore entered “wp/mycustomURL” but instead saw a suggestion of the same thing without the slash. Odd (and interesting that the plugin remembered anything from before). So I tried again without the “wp/” and now I could log in. True, it’s from that custom URL in the root folder, not the wp folder, but it still works. I guess that’s just fine. I think?

    Hello,

    Thanks for using WPS Hide Login.

    There may be conflicts between All in One WP Security and WPS Hide Login. Try to deactivate this plugin and delete all transients and empty cache before setting WPS Hide Login.

    Thank you. I hate to say it, but I’ve removed WP AIOS altogether. I’m sure its protections are valuable, but it began barring admin access after an upgrade even before I installed WPS Hide Login. I think my present arrangement will just have to do (barring another disaster). But glad it’s all resolved.
