WordPress Daily Routine

The plugin interferes with wp-login.php or custom login processes.

Plugin Breaks Login Page

Key Points: Login page fails to load, redirects improperly, or shows errors after activating a plugin.

You try to log in… and either get kicked out, redirected to a blank page, or hit a PHP error. Security, redirect, or branding plugins often tamper with login flow — and sometimes break it.

🚫 Common Causes

• Redirect loops from custom login URLs
• Plugin modifying wp_login() or login_init without fallback
• AJAX-based login or Captcha plugin conflicting with server rules

🛠️ Restore Access

1. Access site via FTP and rename the plugin folder
2. Use default login URL /wp-login.php or /wp-admin
3. Enable WP_DEBUG and inspect login-related hooks

🧠 Bonus

Always back up login-related plugins and test in staging — lockouts can be painful if no recovery access exists.
