Hide backend not working on multisite install

    I activated the hide backend feature to stop near-constant brute force attacks I’ve been facing on one of my websites. The feature stopped the attacks completely, but unfortunately my site is a multisite installation and the feature breaks login and dashboard functionality on all of my subdomains.

    sub.domain.com/slug (where slug is my custom login address), sub.domain.com/wp-admin and sub.domain.com/wp-login all give a 404 error.

    I read in the plugin release notes that this feature is supposed to work for multisite installations but this isn’t the case for me.

    Can anyone help me resolve this issue? I don’t want to have to choose between a functional multisite setup and protection from attacks.

    Very strange: when I tried the same in an incognito window and a different browser I did not face this problem. I think it was caused by browser caching.
