wp-login redirect loop

    Hello,

    I installed this plugin to apply wp-admin and wp-login aliases. I copied my new url and safe recovery url. After applying the change and being logged out, I could not reach the login page with my new url. The recovery url with hmu_disable also does not work.

    I have disabled the plugin by renaming the plugin directory, and I can reach the login screen, but I get a “reauth=1” redirect loop. I have tried changing salts, clearing the wp_usermeta session_tokens, flushing rewrite rules and changing .htaccess to original rewrite rules… all to no avail.

    How do I back this out now and save my site?

    Ben

    Hey,

    If you already deleted the plugin directory, look into the wp_config.php file and remove the line with:
    define( ‘ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH’ ….

    It should be back to the default settings.

    Do you use another security plugin? I would like to test why you got that issue.

    Best regards,
    John
