 * bertarecchia,
 * The location of the wp-register.php file will be in whichever directory WordPress
   is installed, I would have thought. Mine was in the root folder but if you have
   WordPress installed so its home page is /BLOG then yes, that’s where wp-register.
   php should be.
 * The ‘exit’ command wasn’t in htaccess, it was in my blank wp-register.php. I’m
   not really good enough with htaccess commands to recommend you do something on
   my say-so, but I imagine Siteturner’s XML-RPC solution above would work for wp-
   register.php too.

 * Hi all, I hope this helps someone. Today I’ve noticed login attempts on two of
   my WP sites on two different servers, both with this great plugin installed. 
   What I’ve found to be happening is that the attacker has hit mysite.com/wp-register.
   php (which isn’t in either file system) – this redirects them in the background
   to mysite.com/my-wps-hide-login-url and gives them the ‘registration disabled’
   notice. As a quick fix I’ve created a blank wp-register.php in the root directories
   and just fired ‘exit;’ in it.
 * Just thought I’d mention it in case anyone finds it helpful.

 * Siteturner, you’re spot on. I’ve just found this as the cause this morning too.
   Good job – hopefully this thread will help others.

 * I’m having this problem too. It was fine when I started using this plugin (which
   I really like) but in the past couple of weeks Wordfence has been notifying me
   of loads of login attempts across several websites. I’ve checked what’s reported
   here and can’t find any login links on the websites. Any ideas appreciated!

 * Could you be more specific? I’d be really grateful if someone could help me fix
   this today.
 * Many thanks.

 * I’ve got this problem too on 2.8.4 – although as with Pathan the problem only
   presented itself when transferring a site from localhost to remote server.
 * Certainly no criticism – it’s a great plugin – hopefully someone can post a solution
   soon.
