Hello, no. Tbe pages are not cached. There is no CDN and no caching plugins in the site.

I have also tried disabling every other plugin except WPS Hide Login, and I get the same problem.

I have tried with other browsers, in case it was related to cookies, but I get the same problem.

My setup: Linux VPS, Debian 11, PHP 7.4, WordPress 6.0, WPS Hide Login 1.9.6.

Hello, as for myself, I am uding a virtual private server on Google Compute Engine. It is a full Linux Debian 11 installation and I have total control of the machine. This is to say it is not a shared machine.

Así to whether WPS hide login is enabled, I am able to enabled and disable the plugin as I wish. When the plugin is enabled I cannot login with any slug. Every admin page throws me to a 404 page. When I manually disable the plugin from the bash Shell I am able to login vía the regular wp-admin page.

If I enable the plugin while logged in I am able to stay within the WordPress admin pages for a given time. After a while (overnight) I cannot enter anymore vía the wp-admin slug or any slug!

Hello, I have the same problem. I am reposting because the previous post was in a conversation incorrectly marked as “solved”.

I migrated my wordpress installation to a new host. It was working fine before and worked fine after the migration. Both hosts were Debian servers, the reason for the migration was to upgrade the Debian version.

My mistake? After migrating, I tried changing the login URL and the 404 page via the WPS Hide Login settings page, at the same time! After doing this, I got a 404 page whenever I tried to login on the new admin URL or the default wp-admin URL or even the old admin URL. It is not even my customized 404 page that I was configuring on the plugin settings.

The only workaround seems to be login in via SSH and disabling the WPS Hide Login from the linux CLI. There are a number of ways of doing this. You can rename the plugin directory, or you can use a cli script like this one:

This enables the wp-admin URL again and I can login again. After doing maintenance on the site I re-enable WPS Hide Login plugin so nobody (including me) can login via web anymore! This is obviously not the way this plugin is intended to work, I believe.

I have verified that the new admin login URL is in the whl_page variable within wp_options by using the following URL:

https://<my site.com>/wp-admin/options.php

This last hack only works with the WPS Hide Login plugin disabled, of course.

I have “refreshed” permalinks by going to the WP pannel on my site > Settings > permalinks > save

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling this plugin. Same problem.

I have tried disabling every other plugins on the site except WPS Hide Login. Same problem.

Brute force login attacks are a headache, and exposing the wp-admin URL is simply not an option.

Any suggestions?
