i have a self hosted wordpress install on a server in a virtbox at home.
i was trying out plugins from the wordpress.org site, and after enabling some securtiy plugins, i found i couldnt access the wp-login.php page anymore.
i get a function of one of the plugins telling me the site is forbidden and doesnt exist.
the problem is, i am not exactly sure which plugin did this.
i dont have a login link on the front end of the page also.
the plugins i have installed are bulletproof security, lockdown wp-admin, ultimate security checker, and wp security scan.
the install is on an ubuntu server with no GUI, host is mac osx, but i can access it from the network.
if i just delete the plugins from the wordpress directory, will that work?
How do i login when i cant access wp-login.php?
Assuming you have shell access to the server (which is sounds like you do), rename the
wp-content/pluginsdirectory to something else (I often just stick anxin front) and see if you can get into your site. Then create a new plugins directory and move the plugins one at a time fromxplugins/toplugins/. You’ll soon know who the culprit is.
