Thanks for the quick response. I was able to resolve my problem meanwhile. Yes it is related to the wp install directory. The plugin doesnt write the .htaccess correctly.

For example, if this directory is called “wp” and you want to rename your example.com/wp/wp-login.php to example.com/login.php

the plugin will write:

RewriteRule ^/wp/login.php(.*) /wp/wp-login.php$1 [L,QSA]

instead of

RewriteRule ^login.php(.*) /wp/wp-login.php$1 [L,QSA]

and that causes the problem.

Three other things:
1. Everytime you click SAVE, the plugin rewrites the .htaccess and erases the fixes you made, which is a nightmare if you dont make all modifications at once. But making all the modifications at once is another nightmare because the .htaccess file becomes extremely long and you may lose control when fixing. So I preferred to make only two modifications wp-login and wp-admin

2. The plugin doenst use its own area to write things in the .htaccess, but inserts them inside the initial WordPress config which may cause confusion to a beginner. If they decide to remove the plugin and clean the htaccess, they may erase the bottom part of the wordpress block by error.

You see something like this:

# BEGIN WordPress
blabla
#START – WP Hide & Security Enhancer
blabla
#END – WP Hide & Security Enhancer
blabla
# END WordPress

3. Finally one has to synchronize the two .htaccess in the directories: /www and /www/wp

PS I preferred to write here so that users with the same issue can have a temporary workaround until you fix that problem.

Did you exclude your new login url from your caching plugin or your CDN?
(and browser cache of course)

It’s a User Switching problem finally. Since you advertize in the Description that your plugin works with User Switching, I thought you may want to see the problem, and all interested users as well:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/custom-login-url-cant-switch-back?replies=11#post-8525438

Well the problem occurs when WP is installed in a directory. Maybe you should define it in your Description>Compatibility, otherwise users may think the problem is from your plugin and uninstall it.

Hi, John and thanks. Your plugin saves a lot of time.
Just to mention I have the same problem…

(I am using https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wps-hide-login/ for login redirection and have wordpress installed in a subdirectory as well).

Thank you @timondavis for your extensive explanations.
I spent all the day but I didn’t find solution. Nothing works. My theme is not updated to the latest version of WordPress. The developer started an update six months ago and he didn’t yet finish… I will leave it as is. It is not a major problem. It is just ugly with some short pages.
Thanks again.

Not sure for the other strings…

Normally when you click on the button you should see a feedback message which confirms that the action was done correctly or that there was an error. As the button doesn’t work well (needs page reloading to show the translation) I don’t have that message to verify the context. So I am looking in the core file and I don’t understand everything. Look at the screenshot:

Hopefully you will fix this and the problem will be resolved.

Have a nice day !

Thank you very much!

Meanwhile I translated some strings here:
https://translate.www.ads-software.com/projects/wp-plugins/buddypress-mute/stable/fr/default?page=1

Thank you very much!
I suggest also to give more information when hovering on the button. Here is the problem:
The words “Mute” and “Unmute” don’t exist in french for this kind of situation. I will use the word “Masquer” (hide) and “Retablir” (restore, bring back to previous situation). But it will not be obvious what is hidden exactly. Users may think they are getting rid of an annoying user completely (including private messages).

Maybe these words (Mute and Unmute) are difficult to translate in other languages as well. So we must be able to give users more information when hovering.

Actually it is difficult to locate the hovering string because it has the same text as the button, but if you change the text, it will be more obvious and we will be able to translate it. For example: you can replace “Mute” with “Hide user’s activity” and “Unmute” with “Show user’s activity”

if you have trouble translating the plugin just shout back here!

Please, can you define the context in which these strings are shown? (I thought I had understood the context, but then I saw the strings in the core file I am no longer sure)

We cannot always reproduce the context in order to understand how to translate.

Thanks

PS Take also in account that your plugin may be translated by persons unable to understand easier strings. Look at what I found:

Thanks for your quick response.
I visited the translation board and got the language file. The problem though persists:

every time I click to change status (mute/unmute), the new status is in english and I have to refresh the page in order to have it in french.

Any idea? Do you think it could be a conflict with another plugin?

You are right. I had a problem with the given plugin and I fixed it. I still have problems with other plugins that show system information and alerts to simple users and I hope to fix them as well by contacting their authors. So I reconsider my decision and I think that I can use Buoy which seems to be a wonderful and very useful tool. I will test it and give you feedback.
Thank you very much!

About other group admins: I think that the group creator has to decide if they could add a link on their profile by clicking YES on a check box. If he/she clicks yes, they will have just the right to add the link. It won’t be done automatically; because they may already have a link from another group and don’t want a second one.

For the site admin: He/she could have the right to do that for other members (administration reasons) but not adding the link on their own profile (moral reasons).

And I thought something even more useful: when hovering on the profile button, it could show excerpt from the gpages, so that other users could see if that group match their interests.

Yesterday I could add a link on users profiles. They can insert their group slug from their profile. It helps not only the others but themselves also to have access to their group immediately.

But I think that BP Group Extras is more convenient for this thing, just because it is intented to add … extras. You can even create a group page on the user profile so that a member can describe their groups.

With the actual situation you visit someone’s profile, you see all their group memberships and you have no idea about what they are and if they are created by the user. A page description helps for community engagement.
Well these are just thoughts; you do what you like with your plugin.
For me it is very useful and I will leave a good review later.

Thank you very much.

Some examples:

-people who travel and need to be in constant contact with their business
-difficult or risky jobs
-work under difficult circumstances (bad weather, mountain, sea etc)
-missions in dangerous countries
-urgent problems in business in not working hours
-every external coordination
-assistance in completing tasks remotely

The problem with dashboard access is that many plugins have options on posts and pages. For example a simple member can see my membership options and manipulate the “plugin organizer” for the page they create. If some plugins are not loaded with the page the results will affect not only the page, but the image of the site.

Thank you @meitar for your quick response. I am not a developer and don’t have technical knowledge to help in this project. I am launching a site for professionals and I thought that Buoy could be useful for professional emergencies. I see that Buoy doesn’t fit my needs at this moment and it will take much time to have frontend access. So I will look for something else. Have a nice day !
