 * I’m using the Sucuri Security – Auditing, Malware Scanner and Hardening plugin
   that over the last couple of days has made me aware of a few attempts to access
   the admin page of my website.
 * Just wanted to reach out and see if this was a issue with this plugin or something
   else that might be affecting my website. Its worked great and as said, its only
   over the last couple of days that login attempts have been made.
 * I even changed by the login URL yesterday but today I’ve still had failed login
   attempts reported.
 * WordPress is fully up to date and I’m using the latest version of Divi builder.
   If you need any more information, please let me know.

   plugin….

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for using WPS Hide Login.
 * Are you hosted on a well securised server protected against xml-rpc attacks ?

   I cannot login with the new url but only with the classic one (wp-admin).

 * Hello [@csalloumk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/csalloumk/)
 * Are you using a security plugin which sets a login slug up in its settings ? 
   Maybe there is a conflict between these two plugins.

 * Hello [@seinomedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seinomedia/), My site
   did not a=have a ;htaccess file that’s why it was not working. Now we create 
   this file and the admin login is hidden; Thank you for your answer, it was quite
   long for me to resolve it and to understand.

 * Hello [@seinomedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seinomedia/)
 * Sorry for the delay. I have checked with our hosting provider and they have confirmed
   xml-rpc.php is heavily protected.
 * I’m still seeing increase in login attempts across all my sites so not sure what
   has happened to make this plugin become so ineffective. Used to work great but
   now, not sure if I need to change to another plugin provider?

 * Hello [@chrisbdm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chrisbdm/)
 * Millions installs don’t meet this issue.
 * I don’t have enough informations to understand your problem.
 * Have you got public login pages or public login forms ?

 * Hello [@seinomedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seinomedia/)
 * Sorry for my late response. The issue was that my custom login pages were still
   being found and numerous login attempts were being made. I wanted to ask if there
   might be a issue with your plugin not being effective anymore.
 * To avoid any risks to my sites, I removed your plugin and changed them to use
   Hide My WP Ghost – Security Plugin which, so far and using its ability to create
   custom login pages, has not made them discoverable.
 * Your plugin had been working great on my sites I used until last week so why 
   it stopped working was a mystery.
