This is a issue when moving server hosted site to a local host and then login in to admin panel.. * How to solve it with .htaccess as per your comment ? * e.g this is my .htaccess * ……………………………. * # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteRule ^vpsadmin/?$ /wp-login.php [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^vpsadmin/register/?$ /wp-login.php?action=register [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^vpsadmin/ lostpassword/?$ /wp-login.php?action=lostpassword [QSA,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!- f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] * # END WordPress * …………………………. * When tried to login with /wp-admin , the admin panel shows but it make users login to live server admin panel not the local host one. * This is a good plugin but when moving the site it causes problems (I cannot remove this plugin from live site as it is a working site n used by client) unless s this can be fixed as far as i think. * Thanks * [Ray](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rajulk100/) * (@rajulk100) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-on-local-machine/#post-6022817) * can u pls chk this and let us know a solution * Plugin Author [WP-EXPERTS.IN](https://wordpress.org/support/users/india-web-developer/) * (@india-web-developer) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-on-local-machine/#post-6022822) * Hi, * Can you please tell me the your local host url?

After that .htaccess file was replaced with a general .htaccess as follows.. * # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /acknos/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond%{ REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /acknos/index.php [L] * # END WordPress * Now i`am using it without the plugin. This is good useful plugin but only has to use it once site is finalized and hosted otherwise would be a problem when taking a copy to local host to make changes.. I think this bit you hav eto chk or give some solution.. other than that big issue.. this is a superb plugin to secure admin panel.. * Regards Raj * Plugin Author [WP-EXPERTS.IN](https://wordpress.org/support/users/india-web-developer/) * (@india-web-developer) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-on-local-machine/#post-6022827) * Hi Raj, * After update your permalink did you active my plugin on your localhost? * When you will activate and and enable plugin with new admin slug (i.e vpsadmin) then your htaccess will be look like this: * # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /acknos/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteRule ^vpsadmin/?$ /acknos/wp-login.php [ QSA,L] RewriteRule ^vpsadmin/register/?$ /acknos/wp-login.php?action=register[ QSA,L] RewriteRule ^vpsadmin/lostpassword/?$ /acknos/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword[ QSA,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !- d RewriteRule . /acknos/index.php [L] # END WordPress * Hope your problem will be resolved. * Thanks Raghunath Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘plugin breaks on local machine’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/protect-wp-admin/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=1016876) * [Protect WP Admin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/protect-wp-admin/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/protect-wp-admin/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/protect-wp-admin/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/protect-wp-admin/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/protect-wp-admin/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/protect-wp-admin/reviews/) ## Tags * [apache2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/apache2/) * 6 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [WP-EXPERTS.IN](https://wordpress.org/support/users/india-web-developer/) * Last activity: [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-breaks-on-local-machine/#post-6022827) * Status: resolved
