wp-login.php always to 404

Hello,

Thanks for using WPS Hide Login.

How do you create your redirections ? Is your redirection from wp-login.php is right when WPS Hide Login is deactivated ?

Hi Maxime.
This is a fresh WP installation made 10 days ago (WP 6.5.2 than upgraded to 6.5.3), a small blog for personal use.

If your WP Hide Login is disabled (or not installed), all works fine:
– connection to https://mysite/wp-login.php goes to standard WP Login page (CORRECT)
– connection to https://mysite/wp-admin/ are redirect to https://mysite/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmysite%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1 (as expected to standard login page) (CORRECT)

If I enable your plugin (see config to https://postimg.cc/NLwg7rC7 ):
– connection to https://mysite/loragin/ goes to standard WP login page (CORRECT)
– connection to https://mysite/wp-admin/ goes to the redirection url https://mysite/contattaci/ (CORRECT)
– connection to https://mysite/wp-login.php goes to 404 standard page (WRONG ?)

I never do any other redirection.

Are you using Elementor with a customised 404 page ?

What is Elementor ? This https://www.elementor.com ? No. I don’t use elementor. But can be a theme problem ? I use BLOGUS theme by Themeansar.

This is my wp-login.php 404 page https://postimg.cc/Q9bK1hrn

Really it’s not a big deal: 404 page it’s ok. Hakers don’t find the original wp-login.php page so all it’s fine.
But I’m curious about WHY it doesn’t work as exptected.

Regards.

You didn’t tell me how you created your redirections. With a plugin ? In .htaccess file ?

Hey @seinomedia

I am having a similar issue. When going to mydomain.com/wp-admin/ it redirects to the 404 page but when I go to mydomain.com/wp-login/ or mydomain.com/wp-login.php it loads a page but not the 404 page and it doesn’t redirect to the 404.

I am using Elementor for my 404 page. Is there something specific I need to do with WPS Hide Login when using Elementor 404 pages? I realized this is happening on all of my elementor sites, none of my other sites.

Thanks!

I’m going to share this issue with our dev team to fix the issue

Thanks. I’m sorry: I’ve not answered to your previous question. As I said before, I DON’T made any type of redirection within my webserver (nginx). Probably, as for Elementor, it’s my theme “BLOGUS” that create this funny problem.

This has been fixed in the last release.

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing the same issue as described here. I’ve created a custom login page and want to prevent users from accessing the default WP login page/form.

• “/wp-admin” redirects correctly to my error page.
• “/wp-admin.php” redirects to a default 403 page.
• “/wp-login.php” and “/wp-login” both redirect to the default WP 404 page instead of my custom login page.

How can I resolve this to redirect all to my error page?

Thanks a lot for your help!
