Hi, did you rename wp-admin path name? If so you might have missed some step and hence locked out.

Please do these:

1) In “wp_options” table in your database, delete the rows with following “option_name”. Please backup your database first.
– hide_my_wp
– hide_my_wp_undo
– hmwp_ids_installed
– hmw_all_plugins
– external_updates-hide_my_wp
– hmwp_spam_counter
– hmwp_temp_admin_path

2) comment out or remove following line from wp-config.php (if you have added it there previously)
define(“ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH”, “/NEW_WPADMIN_PATH_NAME”);

3) You can now reconfigure the plugin.

Please try this:

In “wp_options” table in your database, delete the rows with following “option_name”. Please backup your database first.
– hide_my_wp
– hide_my_wp_undo
– hmwp_ids_installed
– hmw_all_plugins
– external_updates-hide_my_wp
– hmwp_spam_counter
– hmwp_temp_admin_path

Now you can login with default login url and reconfigure HMWP plugin.

Note: While renaming wp-login.php make sure that you enter a name without backslash “/”.
For example, simply “login” and not “/login”

Let us know if any issue!

First of all, apply “medium privacy more compatibility” settings scheme from HMWP start tab and save the settings. Then set “rename plugins” option to “all plugins” in Permalinks & urls tab.

Now check your website if everything is working fine or not. If it works fine then you can work with other settings of HMWP, like renaming wp-login.php

Note: the login url will then be – http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-login.php?hide_my_wp=1234
(secret key ‘hide_my_wp=1234’ can be changed from General Settings tab)
