    Hi,

    I’ve been using a Itheme for long time and it has been
    great and I’ve also recommended to tonnes of people.

    But just this few days, I notice that I receive lockout msg.

    Someone has found my hidden backend which only I know and the username,
    just they could not enter because of the password.

    I’ve change the username and the change the hidden backend URL for almost 3 times
    but still can be by the hacker but they just could not
    enter the site because of this password again.

    I dont know how is it possible for them to find the hidden back end URL and the and the username.

    Need your help or else or my site will be effected.

    Do you actually see in the server log files that your secret backend slug is being accessed repeatedly ?

    Is your site offering a login link on the homepage that exposes your hidden backend slug ?

    Where can I find the server log?

    I’m certain my site is not offering any other
    user except me.

    I’ve never had other login links.

    They get the login slug and the username easily
    but not the password.

    Any idea?

    @spanizhfly

    With all due respect, you THINK your secret login slug is being accessed.

    But there are other ways of doing WordPress login attempts, like using XMLRPC. Is XML-RPC currently disabled under the WordPress Tweaks module ?

    You HAVE to determin the login attempts method.

    Otherwise you’re just guessing and you’ll never find a solution.

    Contact your hosting provider and ask them to help you look at the server log file(s).

    Dwiden,

    I notice the XML-RPC was not disable.
    I just disable it. I think i miss this potion on.

    I’ll ask my hosting guys get the logs anyway.
