Locked out Special Characters

  • Resolved The Web Fix

    (@jondoclivecom)


    10 years, 7 months ago

    Installed on a domain yesterday.

    I activated the brute force attack functionality, (many of my sites are seeing massive 404 errors and login attempts. 7k a second.)

    Tested the special url in another browser, and it connected. Today, the link isn’t working.

    I have overwritten the .htaccess with

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

    which was all that was left after deleting what was between the “# All In One WP Security”

    Login page is still not showing up. Should I try end all processes on the server?

    Hi private name let me get what you are saying.

    You have totally removed the plugin and then reinstall it again but with nothing enabled, that is why you deleted all entries in the .htaccess file?

    Or you have deleted the plugin, removed all entries in the .htaccess file and now the URL is not working.

    Hey thanks for the reply.

    I haven’t totally removed the plugin. Should I? I used special characters on that domain, I also remember seeing that before the field to enter my characters for the custom url, my domain had a ? after the root, so

    domain.com/?

    which on my other sites didn’t have the “?” I also used % character, but I also tested it in another browser before I logged out.

    I have not deleted anything but the record in .htaccess, per your instructions on the website, that should get me back to the login page. Maybe I am missing a step.

    @websites by Doc,
    The rename login feature doesn’t use the .htaccess file.
    If you cannot login in via the special renamed login url then you should deactivate the plugin using FTP by renaming this plugin’s folder to something else temporarily. This will then allow you to log back in to your site using the normal login url.

    Should I? I used special characters on that domain

    The plugin will tell you the exact URL you should use when you have saved either the Rename Login or Cookie Based Brute force feature. Just take note of these and there will be no confusion.

    Thanks for the response, I will just rename the folder to get in.
