    Good Day. I have never used WPS Hide Login plugin but have decide to give it a try with the ever increasing login attempts. I have a site running WP 5.0.2. I installed plugin and set the new login path and left the redirect to 404. Clicked save settings(This was done in a Chrome browser). Then I open up FireFox and go to the sites new login url.( I a using different browser so I do not get myself locked out of my site as other users have from reading past forum responses. So I am able to login successfully, but get redirected to the 404 page, but my top admin bar is there. I then try to go to dashboard and get the same 404 page. I can get logged in but I can never get to the admin dashboard.
    Any suggestions?
    BTW, I do not have a link for you since I had to disable the plugin so I can actually login to my site.

    Thanks!

    You have a problem with permalinks or .htaccess.

    Thanks for the response. I went ahead and enabled wps on one of my test websites.

    here is the url:https://wppluginplayground.com/

    So I have my settings setup to use https://wppluginplayground.com/testlogin.

    I can login successfully but I cannot reach the admin dashboard. I can see that I am logged in because I can see the admin bar at the top. I have screenshots but I cannot send them through this forum.

    Besides making changes to the plugins settings, setting your login URL and where to redirect on unsuccessful login, is there more setup needed?

    Once I logout of this test site I will not be able to reach the dashboard to make anymore changes. I have to FTP into site and delete the plugin files to be able to reach my admin dashboard. This plugin keeps redirecting to the 404 even though I am logged in.

    Let me know if you need anymore information. All of my other pages work on the frontend so I do not think it is permalinks. But once I login. I CANNOT access the admin dashboard.

    Thanks

    You must have a conflict with another plugin or your theme. Did you try to disable all plugins except WPS Hide Login to find out if it works?
