SALT Option

Hi @ninjakidd

If you enable the Salt postfix, you will be logged out so this new saltwith postfix can be used.

If you are seeing “Not available.” when try access the wp-login.php It might be the you have renamed the login page.

If you did not renamed login page or have forgot it or some how you can not login to dashboard you can disable AIOS plugin by renaming its folder all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall using FTP from the plugins directory.

You have to locate the the wordpress installed directory then go to /wp-content/plugins/ and make the folder ‘all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall-old’

Then try login with wp-login.php and once you logged in you can rename the folder again all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall to activate.

Sorry for the late reply. So I do have a redirected login page, but I can log in successfully and access my dashboard. I just can’t access any other page in my WordPress console. Only way I can is by disabling the WP All in One plugin by renaming it’s directory via Putty. What I need to know is can I disable this SALT option via a config file? Otherwise I will have to reinstall plugin, which is last resort as I don’t want to go through the rigmarole of re-applying all my settings individually which is a massive pain.

Hi @ninjakidd

Right now there is no option you can disable the salt option from wp-config.php, Also due to salt you can not access the other pages in wordpress admin area should not be the case.

To remove salt getting applied you can do one thing is go to /wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall open wp-security-core.php find and remove the code below at line 99

if ('1' == $this->configs->get_value('aiowps_enable_salt_postfix')) {
add_filter('salt', array($this, 'salt'), 10, 2);
}

Note : that removing once if you can access the WP Security > Miscellaneous > Salt tab please uncheck it.

Other wise new update will overwrite this remove and it you have will problem again.

You are a genius, that worked, I can now access all pages of my WordPress installation. I hope this helps somebody in the future. I’ve also gone in and unchecked the SALT within Misc settings. Thanks a lot for your quick responses, I appreciate it.

Hi @ninjakidd

Glad to know you can access now the wordpress dashboard pages.

Removing the code below at line 99 worked for me too.
