Need help to log back in to site

  • Hi,

    Just installed the plugin and changed the login url. Once I did the page refreshed and asked me to login again but it was just a pop that says this site is asking you to login with an area for username and password. Not the normal wordpress login page.

    I put in my username and password that i had just logged in with and it did not work. So i used the recovery login link and it erased everything from the .htaccess file but i’m still getting that login prompt on the wp-admin or wp-login page.

    Cleared cache and cookies but still thing. The default wordpress login screen will not show up.

    Need urgent help. Thanks

    Update, ok i got back in but had to add this:

    <filesmatch “wp-login.php”>
    Satisfy Any </filesmatch>

    to the .htaccess file to get the standard WordPress login page to show up and even then it would not accept my original password so i had to change my password via phpmyadmin.

    Any reason why i had to go through all this? and i’ve decided not to use the login url changer via your plugin and continue to use it via another security plugin that did not cause these issues as this caused a very stressful situation.

    Hi,
    Sorry for this, it should work just fine. Most probably is caused by a cache, did you try to clear it through your Host dashboard and CDN if use such a thing? Also the browser cache too. If there isn’t customisation on your .htaccess file, it should really allow the default login URL to work, unless there’s another code which do the change programmatically, in which case it may get in conflict.
    Did you also block the default login URL when customising the option?

    Thanks

    Yes, cleared all site cache and browser cache. Cache plugin was also disabled and cleared. Used the recovery link and also manually cleared all .htaccess entries.
    That listed above was the only way I was able to get back in and even then had to change password so really weird.

    Btw, i tried the plugin on another site and it totally ruined the site (not url related but by just using your sample setup). The layout was all messed up and i found that some of the theme plugins were deactivated. Had to do some hectic repair on that site also. I’m thinking it was because your plugin or a certain setting was not compatible with the Newspaper Theme. Have your heard any issues with that theme?

    Thanks

    Hi,
    That’s really weird, i presume the layout on the front side broke? Can you check your browser console for any 404 errors, I think some of the URLs are not rewritten correctly, still the plugin does check when changing the options if that works fine. So do you see any errors on top of the page? Also what server type you run? Using a specific service?
    The plugin should really work with any code, as long the rewrites are active.

    Thanks
