Replaced URL : wp-admin & no dashboard shown

[Hilary]

Hi, Suman,

i have replaced URL wp-admin to admincon, & i can no longer see my WP dashboard.
even adding
define(“ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH”, “/admincon”); to wp-config.php.

Please help, thanks in advance.

Hi, to change wp-admin path name you’ll need to follow the on-screen instructions very carefully. Please follow these steps:

– in HMWP Start Tab, select “Medium Privacy – More Compatibility” scheme and save the settings

– in Permalink & URLs tab set “New wp-admin Path” field to “admincon” (a new window will open with the instructions)

– add following line in wp-config.php
define(“ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH”, “/admincon”);

– you also need to update your .htaccess file (if it’s not writable) by adding following line before ‘RewriteCond REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f’:
RewriteRule ^admincon/(.*) /wp-admin/$1 [QSA,L]

– clicked on “I did it (login to new dashboard)” button.

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 look into it.

Hi, Suman,

maybe i haven’t explained too well, sorry about that.

i want to say that I have used the replace tools, and changed the URL in the replace tools section, now i can no longer login to see my WP dashboard.

therefore i’d like to know whether i could remove this rewrite code in my cPanel.
and i am not sure where this rewrite code is located.

Thanks in advance.
