Hello,

I had a test wp instance where I imported data and then installed plugins, among which, wps hide login.
Then I moved everything to a new host, also changing the home and site urls. Now I can login to my new slug but I’m not able to logout, it takes me back to “wp-admin” (dashboard).

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the plugin but still won’t work. On the new host I have nginx; I tried looking at wp debug logs and also nginx’s access/error.log but I couldn’t find anything relevant.

Do you mind helping me trouble shoot this? Thanks

My website is hosted on a Nginx server. URL doesn’t work after installation. I have disabled all plug-in and it still didn’t work.

When renamed to mydomain.com/login. It redirects to mydomain.com/wp-login.php with error page not found.

It works when renamed to /login1.

When renamed to /login2, it shows error page not found with URL still at /login2

I have tried to purge Nginx cache but it didn’t help.

How do I fix this problem?

Hello
plugin activated, I have the feeling that my admin connections on my back end are slow
I tried several hypotheses, caches, memory settings and it does not change.
If I deactivate the plugin the usual wp-admin connection is much faster
Do you have a solution or am I the only one to notice this
Thanks

Hi,

WHS was one of the first plugins that I have used on my site and worked like a charme from the beginning. This site was served by Apache+fpm8.3 on Centos server.

Recentely I have moved my site on a new server with Ubuntu 22.04 + NGINX + fpm8.3 but this plugin, only this plugin, doesn’t work.

If I invoke the url configured to access page I receive a 404 NGINX page. To access in the private area I have to delete the whs plugin folder (I have tried to to disable the plugin by wpcli but it’s unable to do it) and then go to the wp-admin url page.

Have you some suggestion to solve it?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I’ve been using WPS Hide Login for a few weeks now. While the number of failed login attempts is indeed lower than without, the Limit Login Attempts plugin still shows a few dozen failed login attempts within a short period of time every other day or so. I’m pretty sure that my site has not been hacked, and I have changed both the login page slug and the administrator password multiple times since (there are no other user accounts).

Is there a way to find out if the login page slug might be leaking? The only change made by WPS Hide Login seems to be an entry in the wp_options table. How to find that table in the webspace? Any other ideas on how the failed login attempts could be happening?

Best regards

I cannot login via URL which was set up with WPS Hide Login.

It only shows a blank screen with the message: SeoOk

What to do? Thanks for the support in advance!

PS. This is not a cache nor cookies issue. Same problem in private webbrowser or other browser

When trying to log in to WP admin, reCaptcha is not displayed and when you click log in, “Error: please complete recaptcha” pops up. When disabling WPS Hide Login, everything works fine. This started after updating to Version 1.9.17.1 on 24/10/2024.

what about changing the dashboard url after login? it still show /wp-admin/ for dashboard menus

(posts, users, settings, etc.). any solution for this? it is useful when creating website for client.

I have a re-occurring problem that happens every few months or so, where all of a sudden, the login page starts redirecting to the password reset page, making it impossible to log in.

To fix it, I have to:
– rename the wps-hide-login plugin folder to be able to log into the site via /wp-admin
– rename the plugin folder back and update the plugin to have it start working again

De-activating and re-activating the same version of the plugin does not help.

What could be the cause?

After i pointed that using the filter can fix the multisite dashboard link issue. I’m very happy you integrated in the plugin but…

I’m not sure how you test things out because it’s now broken

This is your current code

        $actions['backend'] = sprintf(
                '<a href="%1$s" class="edit">%2$s</a>',
                esc_url( get_admin_url( $blog_id, '/' . $this->new_login_slug() ) ),
                __( 'Dashboard' )
        );

this is going to output a link like https://domain.com/wp-admin/your-hide-slug

You have to use get_home_url to avoid inserting /wp-admin/ on the url

        $actions['backend'] = sprintf(
                '<a href="%1$s" class="edit">%2$s</a>',
                esc_url( get_home_url( $blog_id, '/' . $this->new_login_slug() ) ),
                __( 'Dashboard' )
        );

so it will outout https://domain.com/your-hide-slug


Dude… test things before going production…

Only changes made to a virgin install made from a virgin cPanel WP Tools auto process were:
? remove 404 redirect so use of the two standard to sign ins bounce to the home page.
? added the info for redirect and then cut and pasted into documentation the new address given
https://invictus.ca/ic120240926101/
Have erased the WPS directory and tried install again just in case the cut and paste copy was incorrect… still no success.
Now both the 404 redirect and this new address for the WP-ADMIN both fail !

What do you suggest needs to be different ?

Добрый день! Подскажите, использую плагин LiteSpeed Cache, адрес не менял, что мне прописать что бы плагин работал стабильно? Проблема в том что сейчас не входит в акк с первого раза, а только со второго или третьего.

Hi,

I have been using this plugin successfully now for a number of years. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I’m currently using version 1.9.16.7

However, on WordPress 6.62 with php 8.0, it still seems to work fine UNLESS you add ‘wp-login.php’ onto the end of the url, in response to which it throws a critical error and crashes the site.

My host had to deactivated the plugin due to it throwing a critical error.

Hi

After enabling WPS Hide Login, an error is displayed in wp-dashboard.

Hi team,

I just wanted to check if there are any known issues with the latest version of the plugin? Our website had the login URL set to /login, but after attempting to log in, I was redirected to the 404 page. The plugin had been functioning until now, but I had to deactivate it to gain access again.

Ideally, we would like to continue using the /login URL for security reasons.

The website is built using Hello Elementor theme, and I can provide any additional details if needed.

Many thanks.

Hey there,
since a few weeks have a severe issue.
I cannot restore the wordpress core from backups that are created with UpdraftPlus.

After the faulty restore, the wp-admin folder is present, but completely empty.

The error message from UdP states that the deletion of the wp-admin folder failed and then the UID and the GID of the parent directory are listed together with the effective and real user IDs and GIDs of the current process but this is the same as the UID and GID of the directory.
The support insists that it is due to the missing rights, but if this was correct, why is the wp-admin folder empty?

Are there any known issues or similar problems on sites with the combination of UpdraftPlus and the plugin (our version is 1.9.15.2)?

We use PHP 8.1.

Bonjour,

Je me permets de rédiger en Fran?ais.

En utilisant WC et WPML sur un site, j’ai un soucis de redirection sur la page de déconnexion des clients. J’appelle la page de déconnexion WC en utilisant wc_get_account_endpoint_url( ‘customer-logout’ ). Avec le plugin WPML activé, cela me donne ce type d’URL si je suis sur une page italienne par exemple:

https://www.monsite.com/il-mio-account/customer-logout/?lang=it&_wpnonce=5c8b6cc3ab

Lorsque je clique dessus, je suis renvoyé vers la page d’accueil en Fran?ais avec une URL qui ressemble à cela:

https://www.monsite.com/?lang=itpifpafpouf%2F&action=logout&redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.monsite.com%2Fil-mio-account%2F%3Flang%3Dit&_wpnonce=d5ad657ebf

La déconnexion ne se réalise pas. Le mot “pifpafpouf/” est l’URL configurée pour WPS Hide Login. C’est très ennuyeux que cela apparaisse ici. Auriez-vous une piste ?

Merci par avance

Cdt, JC

Hi, when a woocommerce user recover the password, the wordpress login page URL is shown. That is a bit defeating the purpose of the plugin hiding the real wordpress login url.

Is it possible to setup the recovery password URL for woocommerce users different from wordpress users? WordPress users already know the real login URL, so they are recovering the password from the real login URL, no problem in showing the real URL to them, but woocommerce users are in a completely different category.

Thanks for your support, other than this minor “bug”, the plugin works perfectly!

I have disabled the plugin but it keeps on sending the below when authenticating my WP site with Zapier.

{
? "code": "incorrect_password",
? "message": "<strong>ERROR<\/strong>: The username or password you entered is incorrect. <a href=\"https:\/\/theinkan.com\/my-login\/?action=lostpassword\" title=\"Password Lost and Found\">Lost your password<\/a>?",
? "data": {
??? "status": 401
? }
}

All I need is a connection between Zapier and WordPress but unable to authenticate – plugin is still disabled and Zapier is saying this can be related to the plugin that for some reason pushes WP to use my custom login “my-login” instead of the default WP login “wp-admin” – your input is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello, I install Wp login hide and logout without configurate the plugin setting and change URL to new login page. So the problem is that I don’t have access to C-panel and File manager to rename the folder or turn off the plugins so my wp-login.php to start working again. The question here is Can I ( or you support of wp login hide ) to turn off the plugin for me so I can login back to the admin panel and redo my work with the plugin and configure it or mission is impossible? Thanks in advance! ??

I have used this plugin on many sites (thank you!) without problems.

A problem started on this development site a couple of days ago, and I started having trouble logging in. After much messing about I found out that when this plugin is activated it is adding a ? between the final / and the changed part. This disappears when I deactivate WPS hide login, ie it is not there when logging in to wp-admin.

I have been going round in circles trying to find out what is adding this ?. I have deactivated all plugins except this one and it is still there. It does not happen on any other site.

Bonjour l’équipe WPServeur !

Voici un bug repéré sur un multisite utilisant WPS Hide Login :

Dans le menu “Mes sites” l’url de backoffice de chaque site est correcte, utilisant le slug défini par WPS Hide Login au lieu de “wp-admin”.

Mais dans l’Admin du réseau > Sites, les liens “Tableau de bord” sont incorrects, ils utilisent “wp-admin” au lieu du slug défini par WPS Hide Login.

Pouvez-vous corriger dans une nouvelle version ? (pour cela vous pouvez utiliser le filter manage_sites_action_links)

Merci par avance

Hello Team WPS Hide Login,

I am facing an issue since the latest update and note that I am using WPML plugin for translation. When trying to access the default language login page, users are redirected to the dutch login page. It works fine as soon as I deactivate WPS Hide Login plugin, but the bug happens when WPS Hide Login is activated. For now the WPS Hide Login plugin is deactivated, so if you try to access the page in English, it will work.

Could you please check it out on your side and let me know how to fix it or if a future update is planned soon to fix this issue?

Thanks a lot for your help,
Kind regards,
Sophie

I need to hide it from network administrators to avoid problems, in fact the ideal would be for only the Super Administrator to be able to change this.

Hi, logout is not working : blank page and user is not logged out. No cache activated. Thanks for help.

Hello,

we are currently facing issues after migrating our wordpress with WPS Hide Login activated. I managed to activate the plugin, however if i go to settings > WPS Hide Login and enter the Login-URL, then visit that url, i get a 404 not found. I tried refreshing the permalinks, didnt fix it ??

I checked the .htaccess and there aren’t any entries from WPS Hide Login, if there should be any.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I just reinstalled the plugin completely – didnt fix it either

I am would like to implement WPS Hide login on my page to prevent users from accessing wordpress login. I am using Gravity Forms to send an activation URL to users, however the webpage has the wordpress URL. When I activate the plug in, the user still has access to the wordpress login and the redirect does not work. I am also using Elementor 3.22.3 on my website.
