since WordPress 5.2 there is a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.

/home/domainname.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/src/Lockdown/Application.php(126): require(‘/home/domainname…’)

/home/domainname.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/src/Lockdown/Application.php(177): Lockdown_Application->throw404()

/home/domainname.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/src/Lockdown/Manager.php(83): Lockdown_Application->__construct()

/home/domainname.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/src/Lockdown/Manager.php(93): Lockdown_Manager->__construct()

I have deleted plugin and need to know if there is any table which should be also deleted. I can see all files are already deleted. Need help.

You did something amazing with your plugin and I would love to do the same thing across all pages on my website!!! You hid all information about the website. No one can know it’s running on wordpress, I’d love to know how you did this and how wappalyzer couldn’t detect site technology on the new login page. Please reply

Other people have reported this problem, and I thought I’d do a writeup of what I found.

First, the decision of whether or not to serve the login page is made in this file:
plugins\lockdown-wp-admin\src\Lockdown\Application.wp
Line 182. It returns False IF it doesn’t think that the url you entered matches the url for the login page that you entered into the options page.

That’s the 1st place you should start troubleshooting if you page “404 Error” or “Page Not Found”.

SPECIFICALLY, for me, the problem was caused by lines 164, 165. It’s testing the url in a case-sensitive way. So, for example, if your login page is
https://www.myTestSite.com/MyLoginPage,
but the user enters
https://www.mytestsite.com/myloginpage,

The code looks like this:

$request_url = str_replace( $blog_url, '', $current_url );
$request_url = str_replace( 'index.php/', '', $request_url );

You’re not going to get the login page. This is a problem, especially now that many browsers will take whatever you enter into your browser and automatically convert it to lowercase for you.

In the example above, myTestSite.com is set in WordPress:
Settings->General

You should set that url to all lower case (https://www.mytestsite.com). That way, when your browser auto-converts your address bar to lowercase, it’ll match.

The other solution is to fix those two lines of code (add the letter ‘i’ in str_ireplace). That’ll make the login urls NOT case sensitive.

$request_url = str_ireplace( $blog_url, '', $current_url );
$request_url = str_ireplace( 'index.php/', '', $request_url );

is there any updates for this plugin or any new features to support insert new logo in admin page. when someone checking this old plugin , getting some doubts to install it.

Plugin is still working good even in 4.9.2

and give error
Oops! That page can’t be found.

how to access my admin page now
plz help

While it seems a good idea to have HTTP Authentication and use Private Usernames /Passwords, when you lock your self out it seems impossible to get back in.

You can delete the plugin but while that allows access your admin, you lose the benefit of hide WP-Admin and changing the login URL. (But considering the plugin appears to be no longer supported it might be wiser to delete it anyway.)

However, as long as you have FTP or Cpanel access you can access to remove the Private Username/password options.

The procedure is in the readme.tx file, but is not explicit. Try this, It worked for me, I hope it works for you.

1. Login to Cpanel file manager / FTP and navigate to: wp-content/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin
2. In lockdown-wp-admin directory create / upload a blank text file called disable_auth.txt
3.You can now login without the additional security.
4. In your wordpress admin navigate to Lockdown WP and under HTTP Authentication select Disable HTTP Auth.
5. Check Private Users and if there is a Private User under username delete that person.
5. Return to the Plugin directory and delete the file: disable_auth.txt

All should be good! Logout and login to check (through your secret login link if it was left unchanged). Admin and the plugin should still be accessible. Phew…

FYI Here’s the text from the readme.txt file:

= How can I get back in if Lockdown WP Admin locked me out? =
You can create a .txt file named ‘disable_auth.txt’ in your wp-content/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/ folder (The file location would be /wp-content/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/disable_auth.txt). We don’t care about the content but that will disable the HTTP Auth and whatever was locking you out of your site.

Hello,

The plugin here is no longer up to date https://wordpress.org/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/
Why not create a plugin update ?

Or add the functions of the plugin on the theme’s funtion.php

That’s what I’m looking for as a plugin?
But if we want to change the url but make sure that login.php or wp-admin is no longer accessible (for hackers)? , Has an extension (plugin) modifying the login address (wp-login.php) and (wp-admin) in order to block attempts to access the administration of a WordPress site and it will return a 404. Plugin can hide WordPress Admin (/ wp-admin /) and (wp-login.php) when a user is not logged in. If a user is not logged in and they try to access WP Admin directly, they can not and will return a 404.

thank you in advance

I’ve enabled the lockdown wp admin plugin on this website www perfectlyfit.co.uk and I can’t log back in.

Help please.

i can’t create the user and password but i selected private password already. After reconnect the website show Authentication Required.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/

I’m completely locked out of my admin. I enabled the http auth with a private login. I’m positive I entered the right credentials but it locked me out. I tried the disable_auth.txt file and that doesn’t work. I removed the files from the plugins folder and I’m still being prompted for a http auth when I try to access the admin. Help!

Hello,

I am seeing the below issue only when using the http://mysite/wp-admin/ url after setting up lockdown. It correctly displays a 404 page when using the http://mysite/wp-admin.php/ url. I’m not terribly efficient at correcting the issue myself, but it looks like my wp_gistpen plugin wants to load up prism as part of the menu setup, but it shouldn’t be attempting this if it’s supposed to put up a 404? Any help would be great.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function WP_Gistpen\Register\Assets\get_current_screen() in /home2/vincecongini/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-gistpen/app/Register/Assets/Prism.php on line 88

Hi,

I have been using this Plugin from longer time and there seems to be some security issues now. Recently, some hackers tried to login into Admin Panel by using default URL ‘wp-admin’ and its looking like the ‘Hide WP Admin’ checkbox getting automatically unchecked in some way. Can you please let us know whether there is any incompatibility with latest WordPress version or any other?

Thanks.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/

It doesn’t look like it to me, it appears the author hasn’t been around for a while?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/

Hello,

Thank you for this great plugin.

Here is a small error that you could easily fix:
Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_AUTHENTICATION in wp-content/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/src/Lockdown/Application.php on line 454

The error occurs when I do not try to authenticate and use cancel key.

Best regards,

Hi everyone I would just like to know if is there any way on how I can hide WP LOCKDOWN from menu without using any plugin?

Thanks in advance

https://wordpress.org/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/

I have installed this plugin on a Multisite setup, however whenever I click the Lockdown WP from the dashboard it redirects to /wp-admin/profile.php for some reason. Anyone else had this problem before?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/

Hi, I’ve been using Lockdown WP Admin with much success and wp-admin and wp-login.php are both successfully hidden but it seems people are still finding a way to attempt to login. I’m wondering how this might be.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/

Hi

This is the reverse problem in the thread
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/former-admin-page-still-being-accessed which was posted about a year ago.

I am currently running the latest version of WP (4.3.1) and Lockdown WP Admin (2.3.2). I am having one issue with the plugin. If WP is set to http://www.example.com and I go to http://www.example.com/wp-login.php I still get to the login page, which is a problem. However, if I go to http://example.com/wp-login.php (Without the www), the page can’t be found which is as expected.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

https://wordpress.org/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/

As the subject says. Does this plugin support wordpress multisite?

Thanks a lot for the answer.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/

After installing Lockdown WP Admin on the latest wordpress version I get an error about cookies not being enabled when it tries to set the test cookie. Second login works.

How to display your URL instead of a 404 page when trying to access /wp-admin?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/

I’m using this plug-in since around a year.

Suddenly, one day my site has been broken. When I looked into log file I found above error message. I removed the plug-in directory and site was working fine.

Can anyone please tell me how to solve this error?

Thanks,
Regards.

Does using htpasswd to protect wp-login.php interfere or conflict with using Lockdown WP Admin in anyway? Is this the same as setting a private user and using HTTP Authentication?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/

The WordPress login screen when displayed the first time, the URL is http://members.presbyterianchurchingenevanewyork.org/secureadmin?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmembers.presbyterianchurchingenevanewyork.org%2F. When valid login credentials are entered, the WordPress login screen is redisplayed with the message “ERROR: Incorrect username or password.” displayed. The url of the login screen is changed to http://members.presbyterianchurchingenevanewyork.org/secureadmin. After re-entering the login credentials they are accepted

The plugin is installed in the members subdomain of http://www.presbyterianchurchingenevanewyork.org and the WP Super Cache plugin is installed. In an attempt to add the secureadmin page to the whitelist, I have added “secureadmin\.php” to “Add here strings (not a filename) that forces a page not to be cached.” (Is there a primer on building templates for these templates?)

https://wordpress.org/plugins/lockdown-wp-admin/

Hi,

Like others if you delete www in front of your site, you’re still able to enter the login page.

Moreover on some install : wp-login?action=lostpassword

is still accessible.

any solution ?

thanks

Seems that this plugin is dead, better go to Protect Your Admin plugin, up to date
