Latest version gives issues with setting up

This plugins saves the value you enter on the back-end to the database and then compares requests. As far as I know, there’s really no way to ‘reset’ it to the default value, unless some other plugin is deleting the database entry (unlikely) or you delete the plugin and activate it again. Deleting the plugin will remove the entry. Maybe something’s going wrong there.

Could you give me a list of all the plugins you’re using + your theme? I assume you’re running WP 3.8? You can remove the list from this forum by editing your post within the hour.

Hi Janneke,

Thank you for looking in to this! These are the plugins:

Okay, thanks!

Besides the fact that it resets (that doesn’t bug me), remains the fact that when using a maintenance plugin it will somehow redirect all traffic to any URL on the site to the maintenance page.

Perhaps somthing goes wrong there.

This didn’t cause any problems in version 1.9 of your plugin (I must say I didn’t test version 2.0.) but the problems with these kind of plugins started since 2.1.1.

And since I know for sure that one of the maintenence plugins didn’t update since january last year, this is caused by some change in the rename wp-login.php plugin somewhere between 1.9 en 2.1.1.

Maybe this helps to help me..

Thanks, I don’t have time to look into it immediately, but I’ll take a look later today.

Great! Thank you!

Apologies, I’ll have to look at it tomorrow.

Okay, I can’t find that “Maintenance Plugin” anywhere… Could you give me a link?
I also don’t see the plugin in your original report (“Anticipate”) on the list. So are you still using that one?

Ah, I guess that’s the theme you’re using… But it’s a premium one.

Hi Janneke,
It’s not my theme and it was in the list under the name prevision. Its a premium plugin found on code canyon. Before i used this one, i used anticipate. So i bought a new one but your plugin has the same effect on the new plugin as on anticipate.. but only since 2.1.1 as I said before.

By the way I now tried “better wp security” and its functionality to do the same as your plugin. And that worked fine. Just like your plugin did before 2.1.1. Perhaps this helps.

Unfortunately I can’t try premium plugins out… I’m about to update the plugin again, so it’d be nice if you could give it a try. I’ll let you know when I update.

I think better wp security just adds rewrite rules in htaccess, so it’s not the same. I’d have to check though. Could you try accessing wp-login.php directly with that plugin enabled? Let me know what it does.

Hi Janneke,

I tried to access wp-login.php with the plugin enabled and it had the same result. Just can’t login to WordPress anymore. Not with /login not with /sitemanager and not with wp-login.php.

The only fix is to go to FTP and rename the your plugin or “Anticipate” or “Prevision”.

Thanks!

And let me know when you update I’ll be happy to test.

Kind regards,
Steven

Hello! Could you try 2.2 again? If there are still issues, we’ll try to solve them.

Hello Janneke,

I still don’t know why it suddenly stoped working (since I only updated your plugin and not the maintenance plugin or other plugins).

But anyway, I found a bypass. I added an exception for my new login page to the code of the maintenance plugin, so it doesn’t bug anymore.

Without this exception it still didn’t work in 2.2.

But for me this is resolved since I can bypass it.

Thanks!!

Kind regards,
Steven

It seems indeed that the problem lies with your other plugin. Sometimes you have to configure other plugins so this one works well together, e.g. caching plugins also need to be configured so they don’t cache the new login page.
