    Hello,

    I have recently encountered this problem:
    In my browser, when I type in http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin I am being redirected to http://www.mydomain.com/wp-login.php?query=key (which is my secret login). It totally defeats the purpose. I wonder why it happens? Maybe I have something wrong in .htaccess or maybe I’m missing some option checked in HMWP?

    I could use some advice…

    Hi, can you please comment out (by adding # in the beginning of the line) the following lines in the htaccess and check?

    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !=””
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^p=.*
    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^s=.*
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-admin.*
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wp-login.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1? [R=301,L]

    If it’s still not working, then please let us know your website backend details (as private message) so that we can have a look at the issue.

    Hi, everything looks good. Can you please try removing the entire … block (bottom one) from the htaccess file? If it still doesn’t work, then let us know your website backend details (as private message) so that we can have a look at the issue further.

    Hi, the issue has been resolved. In Permalinks & URLs tab, “New wp-admin Path” was set to “wp-admin”, and this was causing the issue. I’ve emptied that option box now and /wp-admin is not accessible now.

    Hey,

    It is looking all good now. I’ll keep that box blank to not mess up again.
    Big thanks for help. You are great!

    Now I can get back to my work 🙂
