3.0.0 is released. Documentation is still a little sparse (I’m adding a documentation link in the plugin dashboard – if you don’t see it, download the plugin to local and upload it again via FTP – edits to plugin.php and /includes/settings-page.php and added /includes/documentation.php), so here is the skinny:

Network (multi-site) Activation
Version 3.0.0 added full multi-site capabilities. Previously, the plugin needed each site to have the settings page filled out and the enable checkbox checked. Now, for v3.0.0 and above, Network Activate the plugin.

Add the following 3 lines to wp-config.php (right after the $table_prefix variable is good placement) to fully engage the plugin across the network:

$slp_redirect = “URL”
$slp_question = “question”;
$slp_answer = “answer”;

Change each variable to customize the redirect URL, question, and answer settings. If one of the variable entries (not the custom “answer” for each) is missing, the plugin will not activate the redirect function. All three are required to be in the file.

Note: Adding these to wp-config.php will override any and all settings on any site (single or multi-site install both) and put that custom URL and redirect URL in play.

There is no e-mail URL for the wp-config.php route because (obviously) if you have the ability to put those in place, you also have the ability to change settings or disable it.

If you remove the wp-config.php variables, then any site that has the settings page filled out and the “enable” checkbox checked will revert to the settings page behavior.

Lost Password/Logout
Due to the number of support requests involving the lost password function or logouts (or anything else that happens aside from purely attempting to visit the login page from direct navigation), the URL filter that was in place in v2.1.2 has been removed. While it solved many issues, it created more than it solved.

To make up for that…

The redirect function is bypassed if the system recognizes you as being in a logged in session. As of yet, it is not certain how this will behave in 3.6 when a session times out and the pop-up appears, but hopefully nothing will need to be altered.

2.1.2 has been working for this for me but it’s going away with 3.0.0 in the next 48 hours, so you’ll just have to scratch that off the wish list.

90% of my support topics now have to do with the system URLs for the login page and conflicts with plugins that also alter that, so it’s just going away. I can’t keep up with all the support for it as a free plugin and account for all the ways it can interact with other things. It’s going back to doing one thing and one thing perfectly: redirect attempts to that page.

If you have to reset your password, then disable the plugin and do so. The FAQ says how to do that if you’re not in the dashboard. http://wordpress.org/plugins/stealth-login-page/faq/

An outside party has a vested interest in MU support and has offered funds to help along the way. I’m starting on the updates tomorrow and any other donation to see it through will be helpful in hitting pause on my paying projects.

Note: this is a FREE plugin – you’re not entitled to endless support to account for every situation that can happen in a WP install.

It’s not meant to account for every single OTHER plugin under the sun that changes the login URL from standard to another URL.

This is a conflict with another plugin, so make a choice, the choice is yours. Read the other reviews and you’ll see you stand alone in your opinion.

Uninstall that plugin that is creating domain.com/login and you’ll see exactly HOW it works.

If I can get the time around my projects, I’ve got some updates planned. For now, this is a hobby plugin, so once my obligations are met, I can devote 8+ hours to things like this.

I agree with Clifford and I could get you code to do that without updating the plugin for everyone… or I might include instructions (and a different set of variables) for MU situations like yours.

I’m definitely open to doing this as a WP dev for you if you hit my contact form and we can work out a mini-project price to enable it across the board in each MU install. The form isn’t for support, but for paid projects to customize the plugin or other code to individual situations.

Nope. Try 2.0.2 to see http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/stealth-login-page.2.0.2.zip It doesn’t filter the login/logout URLs but seems to keep bots out better.

That’s a WP issue. Disable the plugin and see what happens.

If you follow the FAQ, you don’t need to reinstall WP. It’s just a plugin. Plugins can be disabled externally.

So you confirm it works in 2.1.1 and not 2.1.2?
