Bad login link for users after customizing login page name

    We have modified the login page (renamed wp-login.php) which works great. But we realized today that when users want to comment on a post, they can’t login.

    In other words, at the end of each post is the following line:

    You must be logged in to post a comment Login

    Clicking the Login link now results in a “Page Not Found” error.

    Is there something else we have to change when using a customized login page name?

    Hi, have you tried testing one of WordPress default themes like Twenty Fifteen or Sixteen? What happens if you disable all your other plugins and carry out a test?

    Not easy, or very possible, to disable all plugins and change to a test theme on a very busy e-commerce website that hosts a lot of advertisers. Especially in the middle of the holiday season.

    But we’re also getting a lot of invalid login attempts so we want to take prudent steps to curb that.

    So, the question is, are we required to make any other changes after enabling the feature to rename the login page? Or, should the “All In One WP Security and Firewall” plugin be handling everything? Just to be clear, that option seems to work perfectly, except for the Login link for users wanting to post comments.

    You can test a theme without affecting your website. This is carried out in the back-end.
