Reset settings on the FTP level

[luanfernandes]

Hi, I’ve recently moved my wordpress to another host and when I try to activate hide my wp it won’t let me access the admin area. Is there a way to reset plugin settings somewhere in the files? It looks like the settings (even after deleting the plugin folder) are persistent. I want to make a clean installation, is it possible?

Hi, previously did you rename wp-admin path name using HMWP plugin? If so make sure that you comment out or remove following line from wp-config.php:

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

And 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

You shall now be able to login to backend. Please let us know!

I deleted all database entries and it worked. Thank you!
