# Solid WP PRO – Hide backend

 * Hello,
 * We use the security plugin Solid WP PRO. And with that plugin I can hide the 
   backend with behind a custom URL. On this page users can register themself and
   that is working good. But after registration the user is redirected to [https://domain.com/wp-login.php?checkemail=registered](https://domain.com/wp-login.php?checkemail=registered).
   But with the hide backend enabled I get the error message “This has been disabled.”
   Because with the hide backend enabled all wp-admin and wp-login pages are disabled
   for non-logged in users, except if those pages are visited through the custom
   URL.
 * I have no idea how the plugin is build. But is it possible to change the code
   so it uses the default login/registration URL functions from WordPress? Like 
   the function wp_login_url() and for example add the parameter “checkemail” with
   the add_query_arg() function. Because Solid WP also uses the wp_login_url() function
   and add the custom URL conditions to that function. For example:
    $checkemail_url
   = add_query_arg(‘checkemail’, ‘registered’, wp_login_url());
 * Hopefully it can be build that way, so the plugin is compatible with Solid WP
   and maybe many other plugins.
 * If you have any questions, let me know.

 * Hello,
 * We have paid security plugin called Solid WP PRO (formerly known as Ithemes security
   PRO). In this plugin we can hide the login page (normally known as wp-login.php)
   to a different URL. For example [https://domain.com/hidelogin](https://domain.com/hidelogin).
   So the login page is harder to find for all kind of users who will harm the site.
   All pages under hte wp-login.php (the login, password reset and the sign in) 
   will be renamed to this new URL.
 * This plugin is not working with this security feature. And it has something to
   do with the way the email check link with the parameter “checkemail” is build.
   I think the URL is build something like this:
    <?php echo get_site_url() . “wp-
   login.php?checkemail=registered”; ?> (I’ve also seen this before with other plugins)
 * As I stated, I don’t know for sure how this plugin is build. But if the link 
   is build this way, this security feature will block the page and the users cannot
   verify themself. If the “checkemail” parameter can be added through a different
   way, for example with the combination with the wp_login_url() and the add_query_arg()
   PHP function. Than the link will work with the security feature and the users
   can verify themself. The code will then look something like this:
    <?php $checkemail_url
   = add_query_arg(‘checkemail’, ‘registered’, wp_login_url()); echo $checkemail_url;?
   >
 * This security feature is also present at the free version of this security plugin.
   So you can test it yourself. You can find the free plugin here:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/)
 * This is tested and I can confirm this will work
 * If you have any questions, let me know.
