Unable to Login after update to 4.02

  • Hi there

    Have just uploaded the database backup made when first installed iThemes security, as like many here, I found myself locked out after the update to iThemes security (4.02).

    I decided to check the new ‘hide login area’ for clues.

    I noticed that where there were previously 3 x ‘slugs’ that could be changed;, login, register and admin, there was now only one.

    What was more significant was that the choice previously made for the ‘login’ slug was now the only slug.

    A message also stated that:
    ‘Hides the login page (wp-login.php, wp-admin, admin and login) making it harder to find by automated attacks and making it easier for users unfamiliar with the WordPress platform’.

    So if anyone is still trying to access admin with their previous ‘admin slug’ it wont be recognised. Try your ‘login slug’.

    Hope that helps

    Hey All,

    Most existing settings from Better WP Security transferred to iThemes Security except for the Hide Backend Setting. You’ll need to reset your Hide Backend Setting due to a new implementation of the feature. In addition, you’ll still want to review your settings after the update as there are new options you will be able to use.

    Thanks,

    Gerroald
