When i activate the plugin and i access /wp-admin it is redirected to this link

http://kuwaitlisting.com/wp-admin/plugin-editor.php?file=hide_my_wp%2Fhide-my-wp.php

and shows

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

I tried clearing the cache deleting the plugin and re-uploading , everything still after i activate i get the above mentioned error page. Is there anything i am missing out?

Hi, please follow these steps:

– in HMWP start tab, set ‘Medium Privacy – More Compatibility’ scheme and save the settings
– in HMWP permalinks & urls tab, set “rename plugins” option to “all plugins” and save the settings

Note: Assuming that it’s WP single site and Apache server. Your site’s htaccess file should be writeable.

Now your new login URL will be http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-login.php?hide_my_wp=1234

If you’re still having the issue, then please let us know your site’s wp-admin login details (as private reply) so that we can look into the issue further.

Hi, it says the password for user “testadmin” is incorrect. Can you please check?
And what is the FTP host name? I tried using “www.kuwaitlisting.com” but it’s not working.

Hi, the issue seems to be because of new wp-admin path with all those special characters. I reset HMWP plugin settings and applied “medium privacy” settings, renamed wp-admin path to “kbd-admin”. Now, it seems to be working fine. Let us know if there’s any issue.

The new login URL is http://kuwaitlisting.com/wp-login.php?hide_my_wp=1234
You can change the secret key “hide_my_wp=1234” from HMWP general settings tab.

I followed these steps to reset the plugin:

– remove the following line from wp-config.php
define(“ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH”, “/NEW_WPADMIN_NAME”);
– rename “hide_my_wp” plugin folder name under /wp-content/plugins/ directory
– set htaccess content to WP default (https://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess)
– change permission of htaccess file to read only
– login to wp-admin
– rename back “hide_my_wp” plugin to it’s original name
– activate HMWP plugin
– click on “reset settings to WP” button in HMWP start tab
– change htaccess file’s permission to 644 or 755
– now apply “medium privacy” scheme and other required settings in HMWP
