WordPress Login Page Giving 500 Error

Maitreya, if you have file access to the server you can make a backup copy of your .htaccess file, then remove the section added by the plugin to the original copy. Then navigate to the plugin folder and temporarily rename the plugin root folder, e.g. ‘sudo mv all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall-temp`.

That should disable the plugin and stop any redirection rules from keeping you out.

@maitpatni,

It was all working fine until I moved to a new hosting provider.

For future reference, if you ever decide to move to another host make sure you disable AIOWPS plugin. This will prevent any issues that might arise like the one you experienced. You should export your settings for later use. This feature can be found in WP Security -> Settings -> Import/Export.

How can I solve this, Is it possible to get the original WordPress Permalink working for the login page? Please help me resolve this.

Your best option is to disable the plugin like seezee mentioned above. Please follow these steps, this should allow you to get back in and configure AIOWPS again.

1) use CPANEL file manager (or FTP) and temporarily rename this plugin’s folder.
eg, rename from
all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall
to
tmp-all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall

2) Get your currently active .htaccess file and remove all code which is between and including the following tags:
# BEGIN All In One WP Security
# END All In One WP Security

3) Log into your site using the standard login link – ie, wp-login.php. Then rename the folder back to all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall.

4) Once logged in you can disable or re-configure the feature(s) which were giving you problems.

Let me know how you go.

Regards

Hi,

Thank you for the reply but it’s still not resolved.

I did both the steps above, I renamed the AIOWPS folder and also removed the content from .htaccess file but the page is still giving Error 500.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks a ton.

Hi, before you begin make sure you have backed up your database just in case something goes wrong.

Carry out the following to remove the plugin completely. But first make sure you carry out steps 1 to 4 above. Another words make sure you have deleted the plugin and removed all plugin entries from your .htaccess file.

– Log into phpMyAdmin and locate the database for the website you are working on. Look for any table entry with the following name aiowps and delete those tables. There should be 6 tables associated with this plugin, in addition to the options settings. There will also be other entries for transients and plugin version etc. The following is a list of tables and entries found in the database.

| aiowps_events |
| aiowps_failed_logins |
| aiowps_global_meta |
| aiowps_login_activity |
| aiowps_login_lockdown |
| aiowps_permanent_block |
| commentmeta |
| comments |

-There are other aiowps settings saved in the WordPress “options” table, under the option name “aio_wp_security_configs”. You should also delete the “aio_wp_security_configs” row in the options table.

The above steps will delete the plugin completely from your database and allow you to start from scratch.
