Will do. Thanks for your quick response.
@lothsun BWPS permits webmasters to change/obscure the login, admin and register urls with the secret key. If I ever face lockout due to obscurity, I will regain login, admin and register access by simply removing BWPS from the plugins folder? Please let me know if this statement is correct.
FYI: I never obscured login/admin/register urls with the secret key but I was locked out of WP admin (kept being redirected to homepage) and after I removed BWPS from plugins folder, I regained WP admin access.
Yes, I gained WP admin access after deactivating Better WP Security which is still deactivated. I also deactivated AIOWPS.
I have BruteProtect and Wordfence that work fine. AIOWPS and Wordfence were recommended by WordPress authors at http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress so that’s why I initially installed AIOWPS.
However, I want to use Better WP Security because someone said that it’s better than AIOWPS and the former has more downloads. The downside is getting locked out. AIOWPS permits you to change login username which I did and BWPS permits you to change login, admin and register urls which I’m hesitant to do because others have been locked out and cannot access the WP Dashboard.
AIOWPS is a lot more responsive than the BWPS forum 🙂
FYI: This thread wasn’t closed and I had the same problem so that’s why I posted here.
I too have no access to WP admin on 2 sites. I keep getting redirected to the homepage whenever I try accessing my WP admin. I deactivated AIOWPS but that didn’t solve the problem. I then deactivated Better WordPress Security and I now have access to WP admin.
On the WP admin login screen, this url is in the address bar:
http://www.mysite.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysite.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1My .htaccess file is http://pastebin.com/u3fm2XyX
FYI: I NEVER changed login url for my site using this plugin or any plugin. I deleted AIOWPS on a third site because I use Better WP Security and I can access WP admin on that other site so I think the problem is with AIOWPS.
I’ll give you ftp access if needed. Please help me regain access to WP admin.
Thanks
If I add ExternalUrl in a custom field, will I get the featured image external link to work?
I’m reading http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/tutorials/creating-a-new-field-type/ so I can learn how to create a custom field.
1. I’m unable to delete the log from WP admin because backwpup doesn’t activate. Anytime I click activate, I get the white screen of death in WP admin and on the site.
2. I added the following code to functions.php of the WP child theme I’m using:
delete_site_option( 'backwpup_cfg_logfolder' );However, it’s not working. Maybe it takes a while to delete the log file.
FYI: I left the code in functions.php and will try activating the plugin tomorrow.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to add an external url to a featured imageI’m still trying to get the plugin to work. The plugin creates a custom field in WP admin where you see or type “ExternalUrl” (instructions given in WP admin after you activate plugin. Here’s what I did…
1. Create a .php file in wp-content/plugins folder and name is something like featuredimageexternallink.php
2. Add the code that @alchymyth shared in his LAST post above (5 days old).
3. Inside WP admin, activate the plugin.
4. In a post page, find the custom field. When you do, you can add any external link for the featured image.
My problem is that the custom field is NOT displaying in WP admin. Let me know how it works for you.

In reply to: How to add an external url to a featured imageIf I’m creating the plugin, there’s no need to modify page.phh, correct?
There isn’t a log file in WP admin > Settings. I did remove the backwpup log file from http://www.mydomain/wp-content folder.
The plugin refuses to activate.
@alexpr I read your post and this is the reason why I’m hesitant to change/obscure the login, admin and register urls with the secret key. I do think it’s important to obscure the access but how do I fix the problem if I’m locked out of WP admin or if I get an “Access Denied” error message?
Could one of the plugin creators help me secure my WP access and ensure that I’m never locked out?

In reply to: How to add an external url to a featured imageI added the debug code (9 lines) from the Codex to wp-config.php and when I activated your plugin, I got the following message displaying on the Plugins screen:
The plugin generated 3 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.
1. No log file showing in /wp-content/debug.log file
2. The custom field isn’t displaying on posts, pages, etc
Right now, I will delete the debug code from wp-config.php for security reasons.
Plugin is now working. I had installed WordPress Firewall, a plugin that’s not in the WP repository and hasn’t been updated in a long time.

In reply to: How to add an external url to a featured imageI’m getting a blank white page when click Draft or Publish when using
the following code:
if( is_single() ) {
if( is_single() ) {I never got a blank page with the default code. Now I’m getting a blank white page with the default code also whenever I click Draft or Publish. So now the plugin name as _bak appended to it until this problem is solved.

In reply to: How to add an external url to a featured imageI changed the default to each of the 2 lines but no custom field appears in the Edit Listing page.
I forgot to mention that I’m using a business directory theme but it integrates well with native WordPress. It’s called Vantage — see http://tinypic.com/r/2rxv8gj/8

In reply to: How to add an external url to a featured image@alchymyth Could you help me get the plugin working?
I read this thread to create the featured external link plugin. It displays in list of plugins in WP admin but not in the post. I have Custom Fields checked in screen display. However, the custom field is not displaying in post so I’m unable to add “ExternalUrl”.
1. I have a file in /plugins/ folder called featuredexternallink.php
2. Code used is http://pastebin.com/gMpGufV4
3. I read a couple years ago that good plugins all have enquery code to prevent incompatibility with other plugins. Could you tell me the code I need to add to prevent plugin incompatibility?
