Changed Permalinks, Can't Access Admin Panel

  • Hi Guys!

    I needed to password protect a few custom dedicated pages, so I changed the visibility of these pages from “Public” to “Password Protected” in the page settings of each page. After changes were saved, I tried accessing the two password protected pages. After typing the passwords on each page, they both went to a 404 Not Found page. I submitted a help ticket to ThemeNectar, thinking it was an issue with the premium Salient Theme I am using.
    I was instructed to change the permalinks from “Post Name” to “Default” and save the changes. In the next step I was supposed to change the permalink structure back to “Post Name” and save changes. This was supposed to fix my password problem. However, after I made the original change and saved the changes, my browser froze up. I refreshed the browser and haven’t been able to access my Admin Panel.
    The website itself still works, somewhat, but when I type sharplink.co/wp-admin I get a NOT FOUND error. I also get the same message when selecting different web pages, but not all.

    What do I need to do to fix this? I need access to my Admin Panel and I would like the ermalinks changed back to “Post Name”.

    Thanks,
    Bobby

  • You have some kind of plugin or theme code that is redirecting /wp-admin to /login. If you try to access wp-login.php directly, you get this error: https://cl.ly/image/0k451P3P3r0A

    You need to access the site via FTP and rename the folder of the plugin or theme you have that’s doing this.

    Boom! @mindctrl that worked! I simply logged into C-Panel, found the plugin via file manager, and simply added .old at the end and renamed it. What a big frickin hassle for such an easy fix.

    I thank you for taking the time and responding!
