Locked out of site, need to reset plugin

[ThomDJ]

Hello,

I bought the Hide My WP plugin a little while ago, but had it inactive for a certain period.
Now I’m trying to activate it again, but it locks me out of my website.

I would like to reset the plugin to default so I can access the admin url’s again.
I read about using an admin key, but I can’t find mine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, the default login url after you’ve applied HMWP settings is http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-login.php?hide_my_wp=1234

But if you have renamed wp-admin path name then please follow these steps to reset the plugin:

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”);

Good day,

Thank you for your reply. I tried the default login URL, which did not work.
I also do not have any of the rows mentioned in my wp_options table and no such line in my wp-config.php
Still I am unable to log-in (I am using a local copy of my website with the plugin active).

Please rename “hide_my_wp” plugin folder name to something else in /wp-content/plugins/ directory. This will disable HMWP plugin and you shall be able to login if the login issue is related to HMWP. If it’s still the issue then please let us know your site’s wp-admin login details and FTP details as private reply so that we can fix it for you. Thanks!
