I’m not sure (yet) how they do it, but even after setting a complex and completely random login url, attackers immediately are able to find it an try to login.
So not only is this plugin unsupported, it is also creating a false sense of security now.
It might even be leaking the alternative login url afaik.
]]>Hello
Thanks for all your contributions to WordPress community.
We are used to recommend your plugin to our customers, but they are scared about the warning (2 years since last update) showed at the www.ads-software.com detail page.
Any cosmetic update would be appreciate, just to restart the counter ??
It will benefit also to the ranking of the plugin in WP search engine.
Thanks again !
]]>Hey,
Since this morning the new URL is unreachable, does any one has the same issue?
How to send logs? How to fix this?
BR, Sam.
]]>We have an issue with a web host using aggressive blocking of IPs that are attempting to access wp-login.php. If there are hackers/bots attempting to access wp-login.php and you happen to try to log in at the same time you get your IP blocked along with a bunch of hackers/bots.
Will this plugin help me resolve this problem because wp-login.php will no longer show up and trigger the IP blocking system or be swept up in a wave of IP blocks due to accessing wp-login.php? Or, does this plugin just mask but still use wp-login.php and that would still get detected and blocked by the host?

Thank you ??
Hello!
Looks like this plugin has not been updated for over a year now, and I was wondering if it will get any future updates and be maintained with new features, and most importantly new security updates.
Since many hack attacks rely on holes and vulnerabilities of plugins, using outdated plugins could be a a big risk for getting your site hacked.
Please let me know.
Thanks!
Hi,
Before install I’d like to know if this plugin is compatible with Wordfence plugin.

Good morning.
I’m Carlos, I want to ask a question, what happens if I change the name to a page that already exists?
I want to do that because my theme has a function to log in from the page without having to access wp-login.php. What I want to achieve is that no one enters through wp-login. What I can do?
thanks

After i add something behind “login” in path: wp-content/plugins/rename-wp-login it happend nothing, and when i tried to login by mysite/wp-login.php it retreats to wp login site again and again. I asked to admin server to delete file called rename-wp-login and still nothing. Excuse me if my english is bad. Please for help what can or should i do and how to log in to my account on my site. To last or before next update i was logging in without any troubles and i didn’t change anything.

]]>I keep getting email notifications from Sucuri plugin to help secure site from hackers – I have renamed the wp-login.php on 11 of my older sites, but this has no effect on the number of brute force attacks which have not subsided. My newer websites are not affected.
Can anyone assist?
Sucuri, Inc. Sucuri Alert
Information:
Alert Time: March 20, 2016 4:33 pm
WEBSITE INFORMATION:
Site: https://thelocators.co.uk
IP Address: 46.148.18.162
NOTIFICATION MESSAGE:
User authentication failed: admin
Explanation: Someone failed to login to your site. If you are getting too many of these messages, it is likely your site is under a password guessing brute-force attack [1]. You can disable the failed login alerts from here [2]. Alternatively, you can consider to install a firewall between your website and your visitors to filter out these and other attacks, take a look at Sucuri CloudProxy [3].

I’ve been using this plugin for several years and it hides my login page properly. But since about 2 months my login page is found and they try to login with brute force. And this occured to different websites which uses the plugin.
How could this be possible?
]]>It works very well but I have a doubt
How I can change the phrase? “You must be logged in to access the administration area.”
Sometimes when you’re having problems with your site, it’s nice to be able to temporarily deactivate all your plugins to make sure none of them are causing the problem. But, I’m not sure what would happen if I deactivated this plugin. Would I be able to log back in? Would it revert back to the old default wp-admin login or what?
]]>Hello,
I love this plugin, it works fine and smoothly.
However, after the last update of this plugin, it appears to be conflicting with several Maintenance plugins (I’ve tried plugins Maintenance Mode and WP Maintenance Mode).
I couldn’t get access anymore to either my login page or my dashboard; it’s blocking me or throwing 404 errors. So I deactivated all maintenance plugins and everything went back to normal.
Never had problems like this before.
Could you please take a look at it? I still want to use this plugin.
Thanks!
]]>Hi Ella,
I would like to send the Spanish translations.
Could you send a message to the Polyglots to enable translators?
You need to create a post like this one: https://make.www.ads-software.com/polyglots/2016/01/07/hello-polyglots-i-am-the-plugin-author-for-35/.
Then, request to add me for es_ES translations.

]]>Hello there,
I have for some time now your plug-in operation. Very great plugin and great praise for this. For me it is on a multi-site in operation.
Now today I have assigned to a website via domain mapping a new domain. I call the login area, is an error page, and it will generate the following URL:
https://www.mydomain.com/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
What is going wrong here? Am very pleased with your answer. ??
]]>Your login page is now here: https://onlinecores.com/*****/. Bookmark this page!
This banner does not disappear. I have bookmarked it on both webbrowsers
]]>I installed the Plugin, all Works without the login.
I saw the loginpage with the new URL: …/login
But if i filled in Username and Password i cant login.
Please help me!
]]>I used the Plugin on my own risk.
It worked on the first watch but if i try to log in then my Page do nothing… If i cut out the Plugin files like explained in the description to disable these plugin… it doesnt works and in mysql isnt a file like rw… there is nothing Help me
]]>I noticed this topic and had the same problem: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/cant-reset-password-when-username-contains-a-space-character
Since that topic is closed I thought I’d post the solution to the problem in a new topic. It’s a very small edit you have to make in renama-wp-login.php on line 510:
Turn this:
parse_str( $args[1], $args );
Into this:
parse_str( urlencode($args[1]), $args );
And you’re done. I added URL encode to the arguments in the URL, which converts the space character in a username to ‘%20’, so when a user receives a lost password email, he will receive a fully working reset link.
