    Have been using WPS Hide Login for months with no issues. Today, couldn’t login using the custom URL- 404 error. Deleted the WPS Hide Login folder and was able to login using standard wp-login.php URL. Reinstalled and activated the plugin again and set the URL to a different value. Continued to get a 404 when trying the hidden login URL. Deleted the plugin folder again and all was well using wp-login.php. Between yesterday (when it worked) and today, no new plugins were added or themes changed. Could a setting on my hosting server cause this? Something else? Would like to use it for the additional security benefit if possible.

    Could you elaborate on that? Am I adding ‘/login’ to the hidden url? Am I adding ‘/login’ to the standard WordPress login URL? What am I doing with this?

    I have a similar problem, I have been customizing my WordPress website template from photocrati and plug in NextGEN Gallery and NextGEN Pro, and after being editing for about 5 hours all of the suddenly i am not able to do anything i get a 404 message. The phony thing is that the website is working but i can not log in to edit it.

    It appears that WPS Hide Login occasionally just looses the customized login folder name. At this point, you’ll get a 404 when you go to the hidden folder. But the hidden folder has just reverted to WPS Hide Login’s default which is “/login/”. So, if in WPS Hide Login you had set the login path to https://mysite.com/hidden/ and that worked for a while then you get a 404 error, just try https://mysite.com/login/ instead. Chances are it will work. This seems like a known bug in the plugin since the author quickly replies to all reports of 404 errors by writing “/login”. It a shame because it’s a handy plugin.

    Thanks for your help. I just try it and it does not work. what can i be doing wrong? can i work WordPress in my local hard rive and upload it when finish to the server?

    Hi, I just solve the problem by deleting NextGEN Pro plugin!

    Yes by just deleting NextGEN PRO directly in file manager in my c-panel, not being able to log in to uninstall it not being able to log in.
    The phony thing is that NextGEN PRO send me an e-mail trying to sell me the software for $99 after i was instructed to install it for free. I don’t know but they could have told me upfront that it was going to stop working and create a problem that took me hours to figure out.

    okey so it’s ok ?

    It’s not working for me (404 on every backend page link, but works if I disable this plugin).

    Yeah, on one of my sites it works fine. On another, it will work for a while, then stop working, requiring manual disabling/deleting of the plugin. These two sites are basically identical – one is the live site, the other test/development/staging. Since the site where it doesn’t work is the live site, I can’t afford to disable all plugins and revert to a default theme to troubleshoot the issue.
