Tbe pages are not cached. There is no CDN and no caching plugins in the site. * I have also tried disabling every other plugin except WPS Hide Login, and I get the same problem. * I have tried with other browsers, in case it was related to cookies, but I get the same problem. * My setup: Linux VPS, Debian 11, PHP 7.4, WordPress 6.0, WPS Hide Login 1.9.6. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WPS Hide Login] Not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-3924/) * [varlog74](https://wordpress.org/support/users/varlog74/) * (@varlog74) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-3924/#post-15809312) * Hello, as for myself, I am uding a virtual private server on Google Compute Engine. It is a full Linux Debian 11 installation and I have total control of the machine. This is to say it is not a shared machine. * Así to whether WPS hide login is enabled, I am able to enabled and disable the plugin as I wish. When the plugin is enabled I cannot login with any slug. Every admin page throws me to a 404 page. When I manually disable the plugin from the bash Shell I am able to login vía the regular wp-admin page. * If I enable the plugin while logged in I am able to stay within the WordPress admin pages for a given time. After a while (overnight) I cannot enter anymore vía the wp-admin slug or any slug! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WPS Hide Login] Not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-3924/) * [varlog74](https://wordpress.org/support/users/varlog74/) * (@varlog74) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-3924/#post-15806888) * Hello, I have the same problem. I am reposting because the previous post was in a conversation incorrectly marked as “solved”. * I migrated my wordpress installation to a new host. It was working fine before and worked fine after the migration. Both hosts were Debian servers, the reason for the migration was to upgrade the Debian version. * My mistake? After migrating, I tried changing the login URL and the 404 page via the WPS Hide Login settings page, at the same time! After doing this, 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. It is not even my customized 404 page that I was configuring on the plugin settings. * The only workaround seems to be login in via SSH and disabling the WPS Hide Login from the linux CLI. There are a number of ways of doing this. You can rename the plugin directory, or you can use a cli script like this one: * [https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/plugin/](https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/plugin/) * This enables the wp-admin URL again 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 the whl_page variable within wp_options by using the following URL: * [https:///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? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WPS Hide Login] WPS Hide Login = 404](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wps-hide-login-404-2/) * [varlog74](https://wordpress.org/support/users/varlog74/) * (@varlog74) * [3 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wps-hide-login-404-2/#post-15803281) * Hello, I have the same problem.
