    Hi,

    I have used Hide Backend feature and changed the login slug. I am using chrome browser. I am still able to login with the default admin url -www.mywebsite.com/wp-admin. While on Incognito mode its showing not found 404. By the way the new login slug is also working.

    While on other browser like microsoft and firefox I am not facing this issue, there also its showing not found 404.

    Is there any way to sort out this issue?

    Regards

  • Hi @7oceans,

    Try clearing the Chrome browser cache and cookies (if not already). Then retry.

    Additionally below some important background info about the functioning of the Hide Backend feature (source 6.3.0 Changelog):

    • Important: The way that Hide Backend functions changes in this release. Previously, if your Hide Backend Login Slug was wplogin, going to example.com/wplogin would result in the URL remaining example.com/wplogin. The new implementation of this feature results in a redirect to a URL that looks as follows: example.com/wp-login.php?itsec-hb-token=wplogin. While this may not be desireable for some users, this change was necessary to fix longstanding compatibility issues with other plugins. Once you access the login page using the Login Slug page, a cookie is set with an expiration time of one hour. As long as the cookie remains, you can access example.com/wp-login.php without having to access the Hide Backend Login Slug first. If you wish to confirm that Hide Backend is working properly on your site, opening up a private browsing window is a quick way to test without having to log out and clear cookies.

    Hi @7oceans, glad to hear that the issue is now resolved! I’ll be marking this topic resolved, but don’t hesitate to reach out again if you need help with anything else.

    I’m having the same issues, I tried to access my site from a browser I never use in the incognito mode with https://mysiteurl.com/hidemybackedslug/ and I get a 404 error. When I try to access my site with the slug I entered for the hide my backend setting I get a 404 error. My this be a server config issue?
