 * OK, on a test blog, it works. I have to investigate more.

 * Yep, it’s probably a particular plugin, security or otherwise…

 * I just made a test desactivating all other plugins and the same.
    Still the same
   problem – the test site in on another webhoster so I wonder if there is a link.
 * I’ve got
 * _Notice – You should know that your IP address is whitelisted and features you
   activate do not apply to you. – Including the Rename WP Login feature.
    Your 
   IP address is: xxxxxx
 * always showing even after dismissing.

 * That’s because your IP is whitelisted. This means any feature, including wp-login.
   php wont apply to you while you’re visiting from that IP. We keep that message
   there so that this confusion never happens…
