Title: [Plugin: Hide Login] Using default settings, doesn't work Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Hide Login] Using default settings, doesn't work * [erana](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erana/) * (@erana) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hide-login-using-default-settings-doesnt-work/) * I followed the instructions and used the default settings. * When I log out and try to go to mysite.com/wp-admin, I get this: [http://mysite.com/?redirect_to=http%253A%252F%252Fmysite.com%252Fwp-admin%252F&reauth=1](http://mysite.com/?redirect_to=http%253A%252F%252Fmysite.com%252Fwp-admin%252F&reauth=1) which basically just brings me back to my site’s homepage, logged out. * Can’t then get to my Dashboard via /wp-admin or /login as specified when setting up the plugin. * Now, when I go back and try to change any of the settings, after I hit “save changes”, I get sent to a WordPress error page that says “Are you sure you want to do this?” with no buttons to say yes or no. * I will disable it now, but I hope it works in the future because I really would like to use it. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hide-login/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hide-login/) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [parswp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parswp/) * (@parswp) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hide-login-using-default-settings-doesnt-work/#post-2559384) * when u logged out, u should try to log in via login page to access admin not wp-admin directly. and about the settings, maybe there’s a confiliction with another plugin ?! * [mako2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mako2/) * (@mako2) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hide-login-using-default-settings-doesnt-work/#post-2559606) * **[@erana](https://wordpress.org/support/users/erana/)** I’m having the same problem as you! Where you able to make it work? I’m really wondering if this plugin really works. * **[@parswp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parswp/)** I see that you are commenting on all the posts related to this plugin? are you using it? does it work for you? have you also experiences this problems? if you are using a different way to hide and secure your login page, please let us know what. * Thanks! * MK * Plugin Author [parswp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parswp/) * (@parswp) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hide-login-using-default-settings-doesnt-work/#post-2559607) * i’m the developer of hide login, reply to threads that actually have something to say otherwise it’s a kind of time wasting for me! : ) **i made a demo : ** [http://www.websoftdownload.com/wp/](http://www.websoftdownload.com/wp/) with hide login installed and configured values as default and hide mode ON! login slug : **login**, logout slug :** logout** login username : hide login password: test please do not change!! demo is alive for 72 hours. tnx * [mako2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mako2/) * (@mako2) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hide-login-using-default-settings-doesnt-work/#post-2559608) * Dear parswp, * Thanks for your reply. * I just checked your demo [http://www.websoftdownload.com/wp/](http://www.websoftdownload.com/wp/) * When I go to [http://www.websoftdownload.com/wp/wp-admin](http://www.websoftdownload.com/wp/wp-admin) I get a page with arabic writings and “Nothing Found” error and this url [http://www.websoftdownload.com/wp/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.websoftdownload.com%2Fwp%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://www.websoftdownload.com/wp/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.websoftdownload.com%2Fwp%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1) Which means that it works hiding the default login page. * When I go to the slug [http://www.websoftdownload.com/wp/login](http://www.websoftdownload.com/wp/login) I get this page with arabic writings that I ton’t know what it is این خیلی شرم‌آوره، نه؟ I assume it is another “Nothing Found” error. Which means that the slug [http://www.websoftdownload.com/wp/login](http://www.websoftdownload.com/wp/login) does not work. * I also tried with [http://www.websoftdownload.com/login](http://www.websoftdownload.com/login) and it doesn’t work either. * Plugin Author [parswp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parswp/) * (@parswp) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hide-login-using-default-settings-doesnt-work/#post-2559609) * tnx for feedback, that was a problem with root folder( not the hide login plugin! just with some rules of root .htaccess file ) uploaded here : [http://manam.ir](http://manam.ir) check this : [http://manam.ir/login](http://manam.ir/login) with the same username and password, and let me know if u got it. tnx : ) * [mako2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mako2/) * (@mako2) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hide-login-using-default-settings-doesnt-work/#post-2559610) * Thanks! * Your example here [http://manam.ir/login](http://manam.ir/login) works fine. * I am experiencing the same problem people experience in this forum. Mine does not work with the default settings. * What did you do to make it work in your site? * Plugin Author [parswp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/parswp/) * (@parswp) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hide-login-using-default-settings-doesnt-work/#post-2559611) * u should look at ur plugins, a plugin confliction is a most possibly issue that maybe u’re faced with. look at ur .htaccess file, see which rules are set and which are for plugins ( out of wordpress rules ). i myself think that, rules of .htaccess file that are not belongs to hide login are the only problems and should looked up. and i notice that demo is a fresh install of wordpress : ) * [edmad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edmad/) * (@edmad) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-hide-login-using-default-settings-doesnt-work/#post-2559617) * Hi, * the problem is that plugin just add the rules code to the exiting code in .htaccess but if you delete the exiting code in .htaccess and leave just the plugin added code the plugin will work.
