Can rename login page be used over HTTPS?

    I have been evaluating requiring SSL on one of my WP sites, including one for which I am using the AIOWPS Rename Login Page brute force prevention feature. In my development environment, if I use a Redirect statement or mod_rewrite rule to force http to https, I find I can no longer access the renamed login page. For the Rename Login Page settings, it looks like the login URL is hard-coded to https://www.sitename.com/ so whatever slug is chosen gets saved as part of a http URL. Is there any way to update this so the full secret login URL (with the slug) is HTTPS?

    Hi the plugin works with both http and https. Check your settings and make sure nothing is blocking the correct path. In the past I had this plugin set up with one of my clients and they were running their website with https without any issues.

    Thanks for the quick reply. For some reason the rewrite statements didn’t work in .htaccess but when I moved them to default-ssl.conf they work as expected. Definitely an Apache configuration issue and not an AIOWPS issue.
