Back End Cannot access

Some maintenance mode plugins give you an option to exclude login slug. If installed maintenance mode plugin having this feature then add your custom login slug to exclude. So that it will bypass and allow access to backend. If you still don’t find workaround for this, there might be some conflict between wordpress maintenance mode plugin and ithemes security plugin.

Hello Friend

Thank you so much for trying to help me out.

Please be kind enough to let me know step by step instructions either how to disable “Maintenance Mode Plugin ” via CPanel or how to change WP admin path back to “wp-admin” via CPanel since i cant do anything via front end at all.

For the record – i changed the admin path through an option via Itunes plugin

For the record – i changed the admin path through an option via Itunes plugin

I dont find any plugin with name Itunes that can allow to rename admin path. Let me know what plugin you used to change admin path? And provide plugin path in wp.org repository if it is not iThemes Security plugin. So that I can guide you.
Through either FTP or File Manager (from cPanel) you can rename plugin directory name. So that you can login to your site with default slug. After login, you have to rename plugin directory/folder to to its original name. So that, it can allow you to reset settings of the plugin.

My apologies , its iThemes Security plugin ??

Kindly guide me via CPanel

Do the following steps:
1.Login to your cPanel
2.Click on file manager (in general it is under files section)
3.You will required to select either Home Directory or Web Root. Then hit on Go button.
4.From file manager interface you can see there is a left pane where you can browse directories. Your selected directory shown at the top-left corner. Browse upto the plugins directory similar to the following:
public_html/xxxxxx/wp-content/plugins
XXXXXX indicates your cPanel user name.
5.Now at the right panel of the file manager you can see a folder/directory name as better-wp-security. It is the iTheme’s Security Plugin directory. Just rename something like better-wp-security-back.
6.Now you are able to access your site’s backend using default login urls. Don’t try to access your site using modified login slug, since actual plugin’s directory name changed, it won’t work. So, just use default login url wp-login.php.
7.After login to your site’s backend, come back to your file manager and rename the iThemes Security plugin directory to its original name better-wp-security.
8.Now browse through installed plugins in your site’s backend. You can see iThemes Security plugin installed but not active. Now activate and change settings as you like.
9.Now everything works. Close file manager and logout from cPanel. ??
Have a grate day.
