Forgot the replacement secret word to log into the admin

Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total)

  • You can find the secret admin login slug (wplogin) in the .htaccess file or using phpMyAdmin you can find it after logging into the database.

    .htaccess file:

    # BEGIN Hide Backend
    # Rules to hide the dashboard
    RewriteRule ^(/)?wplogin/?$ /wp-login.php [QSA,L]
    # END Hide Backend

    phpMyAdmin:

    After logging into the database execute the following SQL statement:

    SELECT option_value FROM [prefix]options WHERE option_name = 'itsec_hide_backend';

    Where [prefix] should be substituted with your WordPress table prefix.

    Search for the text:

    s:4:”slug”;s:7:”wplogin”;

    If the above info helps you resolve the issue please mark this topic as ‘resolved’.
