    I changed my site login URL to https://www.keirabui.com/minhdepthiet a few months ago and that worked fine.
    Now I’m trying to log in and it keeps redirecting to the homepage even though the password is correct. It shows the admin black top bar but when I click on any link on the bar (such as Create a new post) it shows “Page not found”
    I tried “lost my password” but also got redirected to homepage. I also tried changing the name of Wordfence folder to Wordfence1 in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/ and that didn’t help. I looked up wp_wf in PhpMyAdmin but didn’t find anything.

    How do I remove Wordfence now? Please help ??

    Renaming the Wordfence folder causes WordPress to deactivate it, so since it’s still happening, it might be a problem with another plugin — have you tried renaming the plugin that changed the login URL, to disable that one?

    You may also need to check your .htaccess file in the root of your site, or check if there is one in the wp-admin folder that may be causing the problems.

    Thanks so much! I found out that was because of another plugin. It works now!
