Problem after reinstalling HideMyWP

[CharlesR]

Hi,

In the past, I installer HideMyWP on my website then I removed it. Now when I want to reinstall it, I face an issue.

I can’t access anymore to my admin panel so I can’t configure the plugin. When I try to access to my Admin Panel via the classical wp-admin path or the previous one I’ve created when the plugin was installed, I face à 404 not found page…

Any solutions?

Thanks a lot.

Hi, if you have forgotten the HMWP secret code for login (e.g. yourdomain.com/wp-login.php?hide_my_wp=1234), then follow these steps:

– rename “hide_my_wp” plugin folder name under /wp-content/plugins/
– login to wp-admin
– rename back “hide_my_wp” plugin to it’s original name
– goto HMWP general settings tab and check the secret code

Hi,

Thanks for your quick answer. However, that solutions didn’t fix my issue.

Indeed, like I said, I already installed that plugin a few weeks ago before deleting it.

When I had it, I’ve changed the wp-admin path to another name (/adminpanel). Now, everytime I try to log in when the plugin is active, even with the 4digits code, it redirects me to my previous admin panel (/adminpanel) and the page says that this path doesn’t exists. It doesn’t work either when I try to go to /wp-admin.

Thanks for your devotion.

If you have renamed wp-admin path to “adminpanel” then follow these steps:

– in wp-config.php you need to add following line before require_once(…):

define(“ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH”, “/adminpanel”);

– update your .htaccess file by adding following line before ‘RewriteCond REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f’:

RewriteRule ^adminpanel/(.*) /wp-admin/$1 [QSA,L]

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

Hi,

Thanks for your answer,

I tried your solutions and it worked..partially.

Indeed, thanks to that I was able to access my admin panel again by typing /wp-admin, however, each time I click on a menu item in the admin panel, it doesn’t work because it renames the URL with /adminpanel, it forces me to always rewrite URL’s with /wp-admin instead of /adminpanel.

I don’t know if my explanation was understandable. Anyways, I’ll cancel all the settings I made, and let you fix this by providing my login & FTP details, let me know when you’re ready, then I’ll send you the details in private.

Thanks a lot !
