WP-Admin = 404 + I can’t log out

What is your version of WPML?

Possibly a setting to make in WPML.

I have the latest versions.

Im using Language Directory for the Default Language
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/directory-default-language/

Root page contain:

<?php
   header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
   header( 'Location: //www.example.com/de/' ) ;
?>

So it looks like conflict with my root page redirect?
Do you have an idea how keep this settings and use your plugin?

Thanks you

edit:
Ive tried (with same problem):

<?php
wp_redirect( home_url() );
exit;
?>

/de/login/?loggedout=true

It works perfectly.

It is strange…
If I use only your plugin (WPML disabled) it works perfect.
If I use only WPML (your plugin disabled) it works perfect.
But together login url, log out url = 404 error ??

What is your setting ?

WPML and WPS Hide Login ?

In WPS Hide Login I can set only slug, right? So I leaved it as it is default “login”.
If I “save changes” and opened Your login page is now here: https://www.example.com/de/login/. Bookmark this page! Ive got 404.

WPML:
Site Languages DE (default), EN

Language URL format:
Different languages in directories (yes)
Use directory for default language (yes)
HTML file (lang.php) (yes)

Make themes work multilingual (yes)
Browser language redirect (Disable)
Language filtering for AJAX operations (yes)

With same settings.

WPML : version 3.9.1
WPS Hide Login : version 1.2.6.1

It works.

Go to :

https://www.example.com/login/

or

https://www.example.com/en/login/

OK, I found out one thing: Everything works fine on localhost, but not on live server.

For to be sure… I reinstalled whole site with fresh localhost backup (Duplicator) and I didnt install (Wordfence, WP super cache, Autoptimize), but 404 error remain.
Only one diffrence I have from localhost is RewriteBase /TEMP/ (site is now hidden for testing in ‘TEMP’ folder – works without any problem except for WPML x WPS).

Problem on the htaccess

I thought too, because one plugin noticed me that .htaccess is not writable, but .htaccess is 644 (and WP Fastest cache uses it). Does WPS need to write to .htaccess?

Except for WP fastest cache code there is only:

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

There is one more difference from localhost, it is SSL. But 404 link is right it has https:// .

Put your htaccess in 755, then install Really Simple SSL so that there is no error with SSL.

Ok, RS SSL debug:

Problem htaccess

Put your htaccess in 755 or 777 and retry

I had .htaccess in 755.
Same result with 777:
