Unable to access dashboard when setting new admin path like panel……

[kedianom]

I am unable to access the WP Admin Dashboard , when an adminpath is defined like “panel” “admin-panel” . Other wise it is working.

Have followed all the related instructions like add define(“ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH”, “/panel”; line to wp-config.php and set the .htaccess to writable mode.

Please help. Is being a long time now.

Hi, what about this issue http://support.wpwave.com/forums/topic/http-error-500 ? Is this issue still there in your site? Sorry for being late on that as the sr. support has been very busy recently.

Also, the above FTP detail isn’t working!

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