Need to use different WP registration page.

Due to a brute force attack (that is still going on) on wp-login.php, my hosting company has blocked wp-login.php and created a workaround that uses wp-login_new.php for all WP admin access. After any form we’ve set-up is submitted on s2Member the confirmation email includes a link back to wp-login.php for access.

How can i change that email link to point to wp-login_new.php? I’ve look everywhere, but no luck. I’d keep looking but my client’s sites s2Member functionality is not working so this is urgent.

Thanks,

Mike Jones (for Dave Grant)

You can change the link manually here:

Dashboard -› s2Member® -› General Options -› Email Configuration -› New User Email

You will need to change it so that s2Member is allowing you to edit the emails there. It should be pretty simple to make this change, but let us know if you have any problems. :-)

Thanks for the heads up on this thread :-)

Did you configure s2Member’s Brute Force Restrictions?
Please see: Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Brute Force IP/Login Restrictions

There’s also a video here that goes over this quickly.

Mike, yes I did configure it. The problem was that WestHost was under a massive brute force attack and just blocked wp-login.php on all sites on two of their servers. They wouldn’t unblock my site just because I have protection in place.

Thanks for the info Bruce! That worked. Is there a way to change the Pro Login Widget so that it uses the same alternate login URL? I can easily modify the Sign-Up link and the logged-in links for Account, etc., but I can’t seem to find a way to change the Login/logout URLs. Any possible way?
