Redirects to home page after login – not to dashboard

  • Hi,

    I love this plugin! I can’t get it to work on most of my sites though.

    I always install WP into a subfolder – then to go live I move the index and htaccess file up into public folder and add the subfolder name to the path in the index file (to point to subfolder installation) and then change the site url to the normal domain name (without subfolder in it). But obviously the WP url remains the same.

    I think this doesn’t work with your plugin maybe? Or is it something else.

    I am a developer and have a ton of sites to maintain and know all too well the joys of a brute force attack. Your plugin is very helpful in eliminating this sort of thing.

    Please advise?

    With thanks,

    Nicole

    Hi Nicole,

    First, I am so sorry for the late reply, glad you find the plugin useful, I am happy to help you with this issue, but to make sure I get it correct, you’re saying that you create the development site on a subfolder, so assuming it is something like https://yourdomain.com/wordpress_site/, then when you move the development site to live domain where it becomes (https://yourdomain.com) the plugin redirects you to the homepage instead of dashboard, yes?

    If that’s the case, are you able to access the dashboard after you’re redirected to homepage? also after you do this, what is the access url from the plugin settings? is it updated or following the old subfolder setup?

    Also, related to how you setup wordpress dev sites, I would recommend to use subdomains instead of subfolders, this way you easily maintain internal links within pages, easily migrate the site from dev to live without the hassle of updating .htaccess, ..etc. you can easily create subdomains and route them quickly using any reversed proxy (i.e Cloudflare) which also adds another layer of security and it’s free.
