 * Hello,
 * Thanks for using WPS Hide Login.
 * That’s the way the plugin works.
 * When you set up a secret slug, /wp-login.php is removed and non-loggedin users
   ared redirected from /wp-admin to 404.

 * I think you did not understand.
 * The Redirect Url field, serves to define which page we want to redirect the user
   if he tries to access the old urls, ‘wp-admin’ and ‘wp-login’ right?
 * If so, **it’s not working**.
 * I defined a **custom error page** that I created, but it is not working, it does
   not go to 404, nor to the page that I defined, it goes to a standard wordpress
   page, displayed when the url does not exist.
 * did you understand?
    (_Redirection to a page chosen by us is not working_).
 * Last Version WP and Plugin.

 * Hello again,
 * Ok ok.
 * Yes, you’re right. You understood the way the plugin works.
 * You’re using Elementor, right ?

 * I not use elementor.
 * Tested on “Twenty Twenty-One” theme.
 * Only active plugins are: **jetpack** and **wps-hide login**.
 * It never takes me to the page I chose, it always takes me to the “nothing found”
   screen which has a search field.
 * Maybe this is page 404, but it doesn’t display the number 404.
    But the issue
   here is, it doesn’t lead to the page I defined.

 * Hello !
 * Ok, I understand !
 * This field only renames 404 page. It doesn”t create or point to a new one.
 * The, if you’ve got a 404 page name /notfound, this field will redirect to it 
   even though you entered /mynewpage404 in it.
 * Do you see what I mean ?

 * Look.
 * I apologize for insisting on this, but the field instruction says:
    **Redirect
   URL when someone tries to access the wp-login.php page and the wp-admin directory
   while not logged in. **
 * That is, it implies that we can choose which page we want to redirect the user
   to when he tries to access the deactivated login urls.
 * _What’s the point of this field if it doesn’t do this?_
    Because regardless of
   the redirection page I choose, nothing happens.
 * Suggestion: Remove this field, it is useless, or give it the function that’s 
   in the description, which is **redirect**!
 * Which by the way is a great utility
 * Have a great day
