# Solid Security (Basic) Hide Backend redirect won’t stop

 * I have Solid Security (Basic) → Hide Backend enabled with login slug `/somethingelse`.
 * I unchecked **“Enable Redirection”**, clicked **Save**, and cleared cache/cookies(
   also tested in Incognito), but I’m still being redirected when I try to access`/
   wp-admin` or `/wp-login.php` (it behaves like a 404/not found redirect).
 * Has anyone seen Hide Backend redirection persist even when disabled?
 * Where is this redirect enforced (plugin setting vs .htaccess/server rules), and
   what’s the cleanest way to fully reset it?

 * Hi [@dqiuchqcnioeqj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dqiuchqcnioeqj/),
 * We’re here to help!
 * The Hide Backend is enforced in PHP only. If you’re still getting a redirect 
   to a not-found page, it’s possible the setting is still effectively ON due to
   settings not saving or cache.
 * Does the issue resolve if you temporarily disable Hide Backend?
 * If so, please confirm that the “Enable Redirection” setting is _unchecked_ when
   viewing the Hide Backend settings again.
 * Then I’d recommend checking for object/persistent cache (Redis, memcached, or
   host-level cache), as it can be holding the old plugin options data.
 * Please also check for a CDN or proxy that might cache the 302 redirect response
   for `/wp-admin` or `/wp-login.php`.
 * Let us know what you find out.

 * Thanks for the help chandelierrr 🙂 I’ll definitely check the cache from our 
   CDN + WP.
 * Thanks,
