Password protected page not working with renamed login page

Support
#1

I have renamed the default WordPress login page using the WP Security plugin to prevent Brute force attack. But this is causing any password protected page to fail also. Once the password is entered in the protected page, it is getting redirected to /wp-login.php?action=postpass URL and it fails with a 403 Forbidden error. Obviously the 403 error happens because I have renamed the login page for security reasons.

Any suggestions on how to make a password protected page work, even when the default login page is renamed?

Thanks

Hello Misha,

Thanks for writing in!

After renaming the WP-admin url, please go to Settings > Permalinks and update it. Even without changing anything, hitting the save change button will update your permalink settings.

Hope this helps. Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks RueNel for the reply.
I tried updating Permalinks by hitting the save button without changing any current settings. But it didn’t work.
Any thoughts?

In that regards, can you please share website login details in secure note for us to take a closer look at the setup?

Thanks.
