Hide backend feature and RewriteRule

  • Hi all,

    just installed the plugin and I’m in trouble with Hide Login Area feature.

    In fact when enabled I can’t access to my secret login page and get redirected to the home!

    I noticed that the plugin insert following lines into .htaccess:

    # BEGIN Hide Backend
			# Rules to hide the dashboard
			RewriteRule ^(/)?secretlogpage/?$ /wp-login.php [QSA,L]

	# END Hide Backend

    These lines appears/disappears when the hide login area option is enabled/disabled.

    Trying to comment the RewriteRule line, I have access to the secret login page (!?) What does it means?!

    Someone else with the same issue?

  • Commenting out the rewrite rule and then still being able to access the secret login page is probably caused by your browser cache …
    (or server\proxy cache).

    Clear the browser cache after commenting out the rewrite rule … you will see that the secret login page no longer works after clearing the browser cache …
    (or server\proxy cache).

    [RESOLVED] Was my fault, I had a redirect hook action to prevent wp-login.php access in theme’s function.php which caused the issue.

    All fine now!

    Thanks for your support.
