Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WPS Protect: Login URL & Security Headers

Use the rescue URL shown when you saved the slug. If you no longer have it, add define( 'WPSP_DISABLE_LOGIN_GATE', true ); to wp-config.php, or run wp wpsp login-url over WP-CLI. Deactivating the plugin also restores wp-login.php, and your settings survive deactivation.

Login and REST requests are never cached, so brute-force protection and the login gate are unaffected. Security headers are sent by PHP, so on a page served from a full-page cache they may be served by your cache layer instead. If your host serves cached pages without invoking PHP, set the headers at the server level too.

Yes, but configure your proxy ranges under the brute-force settings first. Until you do, the plugin deliberately declines to block by IP address rather than risk locking out every visitor sharing a proxy address.

Enable "do not overwrite headers already set" if something else is already sending headers. Running two plugins that both hide the login URL is not supported — pick one.

Your settings are migrated automatically, including your login slug, HTTPS setting and any header values you saved. One thing intentionally does not carry over: 1.x applied a hard-coded Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self' whenever you had not set one, which blocked inline scripts and styles on most sites. That fallback is gone. If you want a CSP, set one explicitly on the Security Headers tab.
