Can't login after installing "Hide My WP"

[sandi440]

Dear Support Team

After I installed “hide my wp”, I was not able to log in as admin.

The login page I have achieved under the new URL, but I could not login successfully. After entering the admin name and password nothing happened. Also, no error message is displayed.

To regain access, I renamed the plugins folder via FTP (as recommended in the FAQ’s).
Also, I have deleted the new entries in the htaccess.

But I still could not log in anymore.

Now when I enter my login, no error message appears again. But after clicking on the button “Login”, the URL changes from …
http://www.mysite.de/wp-login.php
to … …
http://www.mysite.de/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysite.de%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

The page http://www.mysite.de/wp-admin redirect to …
http://www.mysite.de/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mysite.de%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

Do you have any idea what I can do to get access to the admin panel at least.
For sure the best would be of course to get “Hide My Wp” running.

best regards from germany

Was fixed!

You don’t follow the guide for New admin path. carefully.

I enabled it for you, but I think you don’t really need it because you have only one user (yourself!).

I suggest to disable it but don’t forget to remove wp-config value after disabling this feature, otherwise you couldn’t login again!

If you want to disable HMWP, you should delete that line in wp-config, too!

Hello Hassan

Thank you so much for your help. Works great.

One more question about your recommendation to deactivate new admin path:
Do I only have to disable the flag “Hide Admin” in admin panel and then remove the line “define (“ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH”, “/ newpath”);” from wp-config? Or is there something else to do?

What I have noticed: Currently the “wp-admin” page is still visible. It’s redirected to the new wp-login-page-path. Have I misunderstood or should the page currently not also redirected to a 404?

Please excuse the questions. I just want to make sure that I have understood everything correctly and not causing again larger support effort.

best regards
Sandi

Hi-

You can leave Hide Admin enabled. The problem caused by New Admin Path. You should remove it (or enter wp-admin) then save settings and remove that line from wp-config and next, click on ‘I did it’ from displayed message.

It’s visible currently because you’re logged in, log out and try again!
