Changed Login URL name and FORGOT the name

Their new rewrite code modifies default htaccess rewrites for WP. So look in your htaccess file for a section that starts with
# BEGIN WordPress

There you should find your custom slug in a line that looks like this:

RewriteRule ^custom-slug/?$ /wp-login.php [QSA,L]

Hope that helps.

Hmm not sure if i should post this but I’m doing it anyway ??

All i see is this. Would it be buried somewhere else? I’m thinking worst case I can reset the plugin but still afraid of diving into the database files and changing things.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

If I just download the plugin and upload it via ftp and overwrite the plugin files – will that work? or make things more horrible?

The code goes into .htaccess which is found in the root folder of your WordPress install.

I’m confused by your statement respectyoda. The code I pasted above is from my own .htaccess file which was in the root of my wordpress install. Didn’t see anything like what Viktor posted.

If you don’t then add the line.

For example, if you prefer to have the login page be something like https://yourdomain.com/logmein then add this line:

RewriteRule ^logmein/?$ /wp-login.php [QSA,L]

Nota Bene: Add the custom login rewrite rule after this line you see in .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

hola, mi wordpress tenia 3 días sin dejarme entrar a wp-login.php yo le había cambiado en la opcion slug.

instale una versión vieja de Better WP Security sobre la nueva, y sobre escribi los archivos via ftp y logre entrar nuevamente a mi wordpress. desintale el iThemes Security y volví a instalar

Oh thanks for clearing it up respectyoda ?? I actually found an email that was sent to me a few days ago notifying me that I changed the login url. Will keep these notes just incase I end up acting like a fool again!
