    Installed the plugin, added new login path (/gcxxx), changed some file path names (wp-admin, wp-content, plugins, themes), rewrote .htaccess and wp-config as required.

    The new login path goes 404, and so does wp-admin. The only way to log on is wp-login.php. After logging in all wp-admin.

    Hi, to change wp-admin path name you’ll need to follow the on-screen instructions very carefully. Please follow these steps:

    – in HMWP Start Tab, select “Medium Privacy – More Compatibility” scheme and save the settings
    – in Permalink & URLs tab set “New wp-admin Path” field to “NEW_WPADMIN_PATH_NAME” (a new window will open with the instructions)
    – add following line in wp-config.php
    define(“ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH”, “/NEW_WPADMIN_PATH_NAME”);
    – you’ll also need to update your .htaccess file (if it’s not writable) by adding following line before ‘RewriteCond REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f’:
    RewriteRule ^NEW_WPADMIN_NAME/(.*) /wp-admin/$1 [QSA,L]
    – clicked on “I did it (login to new dashboard)” button.

    If you are still having the issue then please let us know your site’s wp-admin login details & FTP details (as private reply) so that we can fix it for you.
