    Hello,

    Today I found that some crawlers (at least I can see hits in Crawlers tab in Wordfence plugin) hits my wp-admin path. Of course, my wp-admin was changed to another name by using Hide-my-wp plugin. I can see that someone hits e.g: mywebsite.com/test/new wp-admin path/, mywebsite.com/old/new wp-admin path/, mywebsite.com/blog/new wp-admin path/, mywebsite.com/wordpress/new wp-admin path/

    I don’t have folders like this in my WordPress site.

    Is that normal? Does it means that someone is trying to access to my site?

    Best regards,
    Jakub.

    Hei,

    I have also tried to change my wp-admin path in Hide My Wp plugin. When I changed my old wp-admin-path to a new one, I saw Page 404. I’ve put a new wp-admin path in config.php. But now when I’m trying to log in to my admin page, I get just page 404. I cannot log in to a admin panel.

    Can you help me to fix this issue?

    Best regards,
    Jakub.

    I’ve tried to change wp-admin path to a new one in htaccess, in wp-config. I’ve tried also to rename hide-my-wp plugin folder and hidden-we-admin but I still have the same problem.

    When I’m logging as a administrator I’m getting Page 404 instead of administrator panel.

    Can you help me to fix this issue?

    Best regards,
    Jakub.

    Hi again,

    Ive deactivated the plugin and now I can log in to the administration panel. But everytime when I want to log in to the administration panel I need to deactivate plugin via FTP. How can I set up the plugin in this way that it will be working with a new admin path?

    Best regards,
    Jakub.

    Hi, sorry for getting back to you late. As the issue is related to wp-admin path change, can you please let us know your website’s wp-admin login details and FTP details (as private reply), so that we can have a look at the issue and fix it.

    Hei Suman,

    that’s ok!

    Of course I can, but the problem is that I need to accept every entrance to my website on my mobile phone.

    I can give you login details to FTP – will it be enough?

    Best regards,
    Jakub.

    Hi, to check this issue we’ll be needing both FTP and wp-admin details.

    Hi, I reset HMWP settings to WP default and then applied following settings:

    – 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
    – in HMWP permalinks & urls tab, set New wp-admin path field to “qnC9Q23K3f2D” and added following line in wp-config.php file:
    define(“ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH”, “/qnC9Q23K3f2D”);
    – in HMWP general settings tab set login query (login secret key) to 9D3F65uJCm=s6cY3LnulQ

    Now everything seems to be working fine. Let us know if any issue there.
