Support Forum
My web host, Liquidweb, keeps putting a rule in place which only allows authorised IP addresses. With over 7,000 registered site users this security measure obviously isn't practical for me. My forum users are being locked out of the forum.
I have been told that I need to install a plugin to change the address of WP login to deter the brute force attacks. Can you suggest a suitable plugin to use and tell me how to change the inline forum login so that it points at the new address?
Thanks,
Paul
I would recommend Theme My Login plugin for WP.. it allows you to disable wp-login.php and use alternate...
as to simple press, you would then need to disable our inline login form and instead send the login button to your custom login page...

if you set the logInLink argument to a url, it will redirect there instead of opening an inline form... if you do that, you may also want to remove the inlne form itself by removing the spLoginForum template function call (http://codex.simple-press.com/.....loginform/)

I want to resurrect this old thread because I'm having the same problem again as I did a year ago when I first brought up the subject. Your solution to the problem is clear and, I'm sure to you, straight forward. Unfortunately it is beyond me. Do you know who I could pay to make the changes for me and what the cost would be?

I am unsure exactly what you want to do based on the discussion...
If you want to:
a) change the login url of wp from http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php to something else, ie http://yoursite.com/mylogin
and
b) then have simple press login button redirect to that login page
that is pretty simple and straight forward...
1) install the theme my login plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/.....-my-login/) which allows you to set up your login page as you want...
2) update the sp_LogInOutButton template tag (see https://simple-press.com/docum.....outbutton/) in your sp theme, from (based on default theme):
sp_LogInOutButton('tagClass=spButton spRight', __sp('Log In'), __sp('Log Out'), __sp('Log in and log out'));
to
sp_LogInOutButton('tagClass=spButton spRight&logInLink=http://yoursite.com/mylogin', __sp('Log In'), __sp('Log Out'), __sp('Log in and log out'));
the change being adding:
&logInLink=http://yoursite.com/mylogin
so give it a shot... If you still would like us to do it, we could do the work for $25...
