Reset wp-admin folder!

[antanast]

Hi guys. I have changed my /wp-admin folder to something else and now cannot access the backend of my site. I put the code into the wp_config and also on my .htaccess but its giving me a 404 when I try to access the backend.

If I disable the plugin from FTP i can access the site, but since I wanna use the plugin, once I delete it and then re-install it, it picks again the bad /wp-admin folder.

Is there a way to reset everything as it was (either via FTP or phpmyadmin)? Then I will start clean

Thanks!

Hi, please try deleting the rows with following “option_name” in “wp_options” table in your database:
– hide_my_wp
– hide_my_wp_undo
– hmwp_ids_installed
– hmw_all_plugins
– external_updates-hide_my_wp

And 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 “NEW_WPADMIN_PATH_NAME” (a new window will open with the instructions)
– add following line in wp-config.php, before require_once(…)
define(“ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH”, “/NEW_WPADMIN_PATH_NAME”);
– you’ll also need to update your .htaccess file (if it’s not writable) by adding following line before ‘RewriteCond REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f’:
RewriteRule ^NEW_WPADMIN_NAME/(.*) /wp-admin/$1 [QSA,L]
– clicked on “I did it (login to new dashboard)” button.
