My host said I need to go to WordPress users, same with MemberPress. Which makes sense because there is no interaction of MemberPress with the login process. It’s after someone logins in that MemberPress “steps in.” * I just can’t seem to find someone who will help me tease apart the levels of interaction for something that is probably clear if I understood better. * Thank you for your time. - This reply was modified 2 months, 1 week ago by [actorgeek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actorgeek/). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Custom login page & Secure login URL & Login button](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-login-page-secure-login-url-login-button/) * Thread Starter [actorgeek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actorgeek/) * (@actorgeek) * [2 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-login-page-secure-login-url-login-button/#post-18868522) * [@threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/) You are so generous to give me more information. * I understand what you’re saying, and it makes sense, about hiding the back-end URL. But I think I’m missing something in understanding access (I’ve done many websites, but never a member/subscription-based website like this, so this is a learning curve for me): Is there another pathway that I am not understanding for members or subscribers? * I have built out access with MemberPress, so users after they login are not actually accessing the back-end. They only get to go where their subscription allows. But doesn’t login for everyone come under one pathway, wp-login.php (which is tied to wp-admin) unless I do something different? * Thanks again. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Custom login page & Secure login URL & Login button](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-login-page-secure-login-url-login-button/) * Thread Starter [actorgeek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actorgeek/) * (@actorgeek) * [2 months, 1 week ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-login-page-secure-login-url-login-button/#post-18868478) * Hi, thanks so much for your help, everyone. And [@threadi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/threadi/), what you say is close to what my issue is, but I’d like to explain it a different way, of what seems to be two problems that I am trying to solve, to see if I can get further input. Because the plugin route described doesn’t quite solve my issue or get me to the end point of both security and access I am hoping for, and I think I’m still missing something in my understanding to get there. So, more simply: * • I used a plugin to create a secure login URL so wp-admin is not public facing. The secure URL is oregonmindful.org/mindfulness. But my users who need to login to the site are having a hard time remembering that and asked for a login button on the homepage. * • I created a login/logout button in the menubar (at least I did have it up there, worked great, using the code I posted above, in my original message, but I’ve since removed it while I figure this out). When I delete the secure login URL from the security plugin, site visitors can click the login button in the menubar, it leads to a beautifully designed login page, oregonmindful.org/login, the page I created using the login module in my builder, and they are on their way. * ![](https://i0.wp.com/oregonmindful.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Screenshot- 2026-03-31-at-1.28.03-PM-scaled.png?ssl=1) * • However, I can’t seem to have both: a secure login that hides wp-admin and wp-login.php. Because when I create the secure login URL, users who click the login button in the menubar are redirected away from the beautiful page I created, oregonmindful.org/login, to ugly generic WordPress login page. * Note that, as an experiment, I did create a designed login page, same exact design as you see above, and named it oregonmindful.org/mindfulness, but it did not work. Clicking on the login button still bypasses that to land on the ugly generic WordPress login “page.”) * So, to set me straight in my thinking, I’m asking: * What steps (and maybe more than one) do I need to 1) Hide my wp-admin and wp- login.php from bad actors who just type in DomainName/wp-admin or DomainName/ wp-login.php to try to hack in but still get my users to a nicely designed login page (ideally, in my builder.) * 2) With new protections in place, looking at the code I used for creating the login/logout button in the menubar, what would I need to do differently in the menubar to make it work that users click and land on a designed login page? * Thank you so much! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Yoast SEO - Advanced SEO with real-time guidance and built-in AI] Installed Youst, double title in search results](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installed-youst-double-title-in-search-results/) * Thread Starter [actorgeek](https://wordpress.org/support/users/actorgeek/) * (@actorgeek) * [10 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installed-youst-double-title-in-search-results/#post-6570254) * The threads do point to Youst SEO, which I just deactivated. * I found these helpful: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/web-page-titles-duplicated?replies=7](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/web-page-titles-duplicated?replies=7) * From another: I had the same issue.
