I don’t really recommend using it for versions older than 3.6 because there are some filters I’m using that where only introduced in 3.6. I’ll consider making it compatible, though I don’t really see why people are using old versions of WordPress anyway.

And it is a bit “security by obscurity”, but so is a password. It actually works a bit like a second password, or key, given that there is no link to the login page on the website.

Thanks for the review!

Found the problem – I hook into init just before User Switching gets the chance, so I’ll give it priority 11 instead of the default 10 (we both hook at 10).

I released a new version, 1.5, which should fix your problem.

Thank you for your feedback! I’ve used User Switching before and it’s very useful indeed, so I’ll do my best to make it work. I’ll keep you updated.

Fixed in 1.4, thanks for your help!

Sorry for the really late reply. You can only edit your post until one hour after you published your post… I should have said that – sorry. If you really want to remove your plugin list, you should ask a forum moderator.

Oh, sorry, I didn’t read the title of your post! You could also look in the mysql options table for the value of option rwl_page. That’s your login url.

Of course you can! ?? Well, it’s not even a month old, feel free to tell people about it!

Awesome!

I don’t know what their technique is, I might take a look at it later. It’s probably best to disable that option, but if everything works fine, then that’s ok.

Ah, sorry, I just removed it a few hours ago. Could you try again?

Yes, it should be compatible with any plugin that doesn’t do exactly the same thing. Can I ask who your host is? ??

This one should work: https://avryl.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/rename-wp-login.zip

1. Instead of letting WordPress parse the request, the plugin will now parse it before WordPress gets the chance.
2. This means you should still be able to have a login url without index.php, even if you have permalinks with that.
3. The 404 you saw was actually WordPress adding a 404 error because it couldn’t find the page after parsing the request. Since the plugin does all its things before that, this error should be gone.
4. Now the login page should also load a few milliseconds faster!

Let me know if it works and if it creates any other problems.

Cool, I’ll see what I can do this week. Could you test it on your website before I release it?

Allright, so you can’t change to pretty permalinks, as outlined in the linked article above?
I’ll look into it, not sure how to approach this. I could check if your permalink structure starts with index.php and then add it to all the urls.

Maybe change to Apache? ??

Here’s another article on IIS’s website linked from the codex:

Switching from “almost pretty” to “pretty” permalinks might solve your problem.
