Can't login

    Hi,

    I’ve installed this plugin and had success setting the custom login URL. I can confirm that the .htaccess file has changed and I’m able to access the login page via the new URL.

    However, when I try to login I get redirected to the home page.

    I notice that in the login form, the form’s action seems to be the old wp-login.php URL rather than the new URL. When I edit the action using Chrome’s dev tools, I can login. But not otherwise.

    I’ve deactivated a number of plugins to check for conflicts and tested in incognito mode and with other browsers to help rule out browser issues or browser caching.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Jacob

    The urlin the login form should be old url, because once you’ve got to the secret login the plugin sets a session that remembers you as a valid user, so from that point it lets you in to the wp-login.php

    So by my opinion there is some problem with the sessions, but I can’t tell you anything without seeing it.

    That’s an interesting approach. I guess I could do a session dump then, to see what’s set. What should I look for?

    That session variable is set and it’s value is true.
