    I have been having issues with this plugin. I followed all the steps provided and it eventually blocked me out of my admin site. The custom admin path name would not change in wp-config, so I was stuck.

    I have since deleted the plugin and reset the .htaccess to get it back to normal, BUT I cannot use this plugin because the settings are stored somewhere.

    MY QUESTION IS THIS: Is there a way to change the custom path name somewhere in your configuration files so I can do a factory reset on the plugin? I cannot simply hit “reset” when the plugin is installed because the custom path name is initialized, and wp-config is not acknowledging the change, so it shows an ERROR 404.

    I cannot change anything because the custom admin path is not being recognized in the config file.

    When I reinstalled the plugin (and I have about 3 times now), it reverts to the last known setting which essentially blocks me out of admin. I, of course, know how to get in to admin by simply changing the file name manually in the URL, but I cannot control the processes because it errors.

    I will try your suggested option now and let you know how it goes in 15-20 minutes.

    So far so good. But I am concerned about changing the admin name again. Your instructions say to enter the code after REQUIRE_, but my config file does not have that line. This is what started the issue before.

    There should be require_once(…) line in ever WordPress’s wp-config.php file. Can you please post your site’s wp-config.php file here as text file?

    Will re-check. I didn’t find it on my first search.

    Alright! It should be there in the bottom of wp-config.php. Let us know.

    Thanks, BTW! You are most helpful.

    Question: When you change the other files (wp-content, wp-includes, theme…) when will it take effect? One of my plugins sends an activation code to new subscribers and I noticed that it still shows the old path wp-content/plugins/[plugin name]

    I checked your site’s page source and cannot see any references of membership pro plugin there. Can you please let us know in which line number of the page source do you see the issue?
