    After activating the “Hide login” function in the Defender plugin, I don’t remember the new login url.
    What is the easiest way the get access to the login mask again?

    Thank you

    Hi @joelwuethrich

    I hope you are doing good today.

    If you have access to your cPanel and database we have some guide which could help in this case. Please follow the below guide.

    ==============

    On a single site:
    1. log in to PHPMyAdmin
    2. find table wp_options (where wp_ is you prefix)
    3. find wd_masking_login_settings option name
    4. edit wd_masking_login_settings

    find “enabled”:true,
    change to
    “enabled”:false,

    ==============

    On Multisite:
    1. log in to PHPMyAdmin
    2. find table wp_sitemeta (where wp_ is you prefix)
    3. find wd_masking_login_settings meta_key
    4. edit wd_masking_login_settings

    find “enabled”:true,
    change to
    “enabled”:false,

    Please let us know does that help.

    Kind Regards,
    Kris

    Hi Kris,

    Thanks for your message. I just checked the database and can’t find: wd_masking_login_settings. I did find wp_options though.

    Any idea where to look for?

    Hi @joelwuethrich

    Thanks for response!

    If it’s a regular single WordPress installation (not Multisite) and Defender’s “Mask Login Area” option is enabled, then there must be the row for wd_masking_login_settings option there. It wouldn’t work without it.

    In phpMyAdmin, you can select the “wp_options” table and then use “Search” option there to find “option name” of “wd_masking%” (note the partial string ending with percent sign).

    This should find it. However, instead of editing the value rather look at it and you should see it starting with

    {“mask_url”:”something”…

    where this “something” is your custom login page, like “yourdomain.com/something”.

    If it’s not a Multisite (in which case this would be in “wp_sitemeta” table instead of “wp_options”) then are you sure this feature is from our Defender plugin?

    You have actually mentioned it being named “Hide Login” while in Defender it’s “Mask Login Area” so while I understand it might be a simple mistake, no “wd_masking_login_settings” option might suggest it’s actually a different plugin…

    Best regards,
    Adam
