• Turned on the option to hide the login page and set my own custom url. That worked just fine. But, when I try to sign into my site it just refreshes the page and doesn’t log me in. How can I fix this?

    Try disabling your optimisation plugins like page caching:

    I disabled every plugin besides Shield security and it still doesn’t work.

    I implemented this on another site and it worked fine. Not sure why it’s consistently happening to this one.

    Update (2021/12/06 – 14:16): I tried a variety of things. I changed the name of the URL multiple times. Turn off, then on. Changed permalink type. Nothing is letting it work.

    Update (2021/12/06 – 14:35): I have successfully got this working on 4 other sites. No errors like the one I am having on my main site.

    Update (2021/12/06 – 14:42): Another site that I activated it on is working incorrectly. On this one the new URL works, but the old wp-login.php and wp-admin URLs are also still active.

    So there’s something specific to that site… try switching your theme temporarily and test it again. Then disable all other plugins and test again… enable each plugin and test until you find what’s interferring.

    Culprits will be other security plugins or anything that optimises the site. If you have caching configured by your host, disable any of that.

    Tried 2021 wordpress theme. Deactivated all plugins. Reinstalled wordpress (core files). Still not working. Also, the other sites that the plugin IS working on use the same shared host. So I can’t imagine that being the culprit.
