Hi. After changing wp-login.php to /painel I’m not able to access the admin anymore. I getting a 404 error. I’m testing it from localhost. Can you help me? Thanks!
May 4, 2018 at 8:46 am #21418Suman M.Post count: 12478Hi, it should be “painel” without backslash “/”
If you have applied one of the pre-made settings, then you should also be able to login with http://www.YourDomain.com/wp-login.php?hide_my_wp=1234
If you can’t still login, then rename “hide_my_wp” plugin folder in “/wp-content/plugins/” directory and the login. After logging in, rename back “hide_my_wp” plugin folder to it’s original name. You can now re-apply the settings.May 4, 2018 at 8:57 am #21419Thanks for the quick reply.
I have change it to “painel” without backslash and got the same.
I’m attaching two screenshots to help you to see what I’ve done so far.
Does it work on Multisite and localhost?
Thanks again!

It works fine with WP Multisite on Apache Server.

“not available for sub-directory multisite”
>> If it’s WP Multisite then renaming wp-admin path option is available only in sub-domain multisite, but not for sub-directory multisite.Regarding the error, in HMWP there is a security check to make sure that wordpress secret keys (in wp-config.php) are valid and secure. More info regarding security keys here – https://www.wpwhitesecurity.com/wordpress-tutorial/wordpress-security-keys/
And security keys can be generated from here – https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/
May 7, 2018 at 7:39 am #21438Hey Suman,
If I do not rename wp-login.php, it works normally getting access to the dashboard using http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin or even http://www.mysite.com/my-client/wp-admin. Actually, I bought this plugin to rename the admin access to something like http://www.mysite.com/painel and http://www.mysite.com/my-client/painel.
If this approach is not possible with this plugin, unfortunately, I won’t need this plugin and I’ll need my money back.Regarding the error on activating the plugin, I mean there’s a php error, please check my screenshot attached!
Thank you for your help.

But as you are setting it up in localhost we are not able to look much into the site. May be you can try it in live environment (where we can help you set it up). If still the issue renaming login path, then we would be happy to make a full refund.
May 7, 2018 at 9:15 am #21445Sure.
I’m finishing up some development then I’ll try to use the plugin in a live environment. I’ll let you know!
Thanks again!Michel Moraes
