I can no longer log in to my site (hide backend enabled)

  • I’m not even sure what version of the plugin or wordpress is running, but they should be fairly new.

    I thought i forgot my login URL but reading the htcaccess file it seems not.
    Going to my usual hidden login URL results in Error 404 – Page Not Found

    I’ll try disabling the plugin and see what i can find out.

    Here is what my htcaccess has right now:

    RewriteRule ^jgp-login/?$ /wp-login.php?(secret code) [R,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*wordpress_logged_in_.*$
RewriteRule ^jgp-admin/?$ /wp-login.php?(secret code)&redirect_to=/wp-admin/ [R,L]

RewriteRule ^jgp-admin/?$ /wp-admin/?(secret code) [R,L]

RewriteRule ^jgp-register/?$ /wp-login.php?(secret code)&action=register [R,L]

    I obviously removed the login code or whatever that is and replaced it with “(secret code)”

    Any help would be appreciated, for now i guess i gotta stop hiding my sites login url.

    Ok, i disabled the plugin and i managed to log in, hurray ! at least that worked.
    I didn’t check what WP version i had, i just updated it to 3.9.1 and i had to upgrade my database so it might have been an older WP, like maybe 3.8.

    For the security plugin i was using iThemes Security 4.0.21.
    Interestingly updating iThemes renamed it’s folder back to the usual.

    After reading what other people have gone through (i.e not being able to log in even after updating everything) i decided to forgo the hide backend feature.

    P.S. i wrote an email to iThemes support 1-2 weeks ago about this, they never replied.
    P.P.S. i guess i never included my sites URL, it’s https://jgp-photography.com
