What should be change?

OK. I got it working.

If I set the Admin Slug to “/this-is-admin” then it breaks as above.

If I set the Admin Slug to “this-is-admin” then it works fine.

The placeholder text on the Admin Slug field currently states “Add New Secure Admin URL Slug ( i.e /myadmin )”, but “/myadmin” is invalid input that will break a user’s blog. The placeholder text should be changed to “Add New Secure Admin URL Slug ( i.e myadmin )” and the input should be sanitized such that entering /myadmin doesn’t break things.

I moved wp-content/plugins/protect-wp-admin to wp-content/plugins/protect-wp-admin-bad and was then able to login using https://www.myblog.com/wp-admin

Great. I logged out on a whim and now I can’t login. https://www.myblog.com/wp-admin just redirects to my site and https://www.myblog.com/this-is-admin gives me my 404 page. I can no longer login as an admin…

How do I disable this plugin from an ssh shell?

I’m having this same problem.

I installed and activated the plugin. I told it to give me a url of https://www.myblog.com/this-is-admin

When I activated the plugin a popup asked me if I checked for write access on .htaccess file and if I had changed my permalink settings. I looked in permalink and didn’t see anything that would affect the wp-admin url (that’s why I have this plugin) so I’m not sure what to do.

My .htaccess has permissions of 666.

I have the setting “Logout Admin After Add/Update New Admin URL” checked.

When I visit https://www.myblog.com/this-is-admin I get my custom 404 page with the login bar across the top (I thought the plugin was supposed to log me out!)

When I visit https://www.myblog.com/wp-admin I get the normal admin console. I’m already logged in because the plugin didn’t log me out. (I think this is what RudaisVells meant by “already logged in dashboard”).
