Compatibility between LoginPress and WPS Hide Login

LoginPress and WPS Hide Login are two popular WordPress plugins, each offering unique functionalities. 

LoginPress is the best WordPress login customizer plugin that lets you customize every element of the default WordPress login, registration, and forgot password pages.

On the other hand, WPS Hide Login enhances your site's security by changing the default login URL.

Here’s some good news for you! 

With LoginPress, you can change the page link without any additional plugins.

However, you don't need to worry if you're using WPS Hide Login separately. Since both are fully compatible, you can also use WPS Hide Login with LoginPress.

Note: LoginPress Hide Login Add-on and WPS Hide Login Add-on serve the same functionality. Enabling them together will cause compatibility issues, so it's better to install and activate only one at a time on your site.

Here, we’ll test the smooth working of LoginPress and WPS Hide Login when installed and activated on a WordPress site. 

Let’s get started!

Brief Overview of LoginPress

LoginPress is the best WordPress login page customizer plugin. It's packed with features to help you customize the default WordPress Login, Register, and Forget pages.

LoginPress’s main functionality resides within three main areas of the plugin, including:

• Settings (This section lets you customize the overall behavior of the default WordPress login, register, and forget pages)
• Customizer (This section allows you to customize the appearance of the default WordPress login, register, and forget pages)
• Add-Ons (It contains Pro Add-ons to help you strengthen the default WordPress login, register, and forget pages)

See the image below:

Brief Overview of WPS Hide Login

On the other hand, WPS Hide Login is a WordPress plugin that lets you customize the default login URL (e.g., /wp-admin and/wp-login.php) and set a custom login URL.

As a result, the wp-admin directory and the wp-login.php page become inaccessible. This helps you protect your site against cyber criminals.

3. LoginPress Add-ons Compatibility with WPS Hide Login

LoginPress Pro offers several Add-ons. Let’s see if WPS Hide Login is fully compatible with them.

Note: We assume you’ve already installed and activated LoginPress Pro. If not, see our detailed guide on how to Install And Activate the LoginPress PRO Version.

To access the Add-Ons option, go to the left sidebar of the WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to LoginPress, and select the option.

On the next screen, enable the Social Login Add-on.

Go to the left sidebar of the WordPress admin dashboard> LoginPress >> Settings >> Social Login option.

Now, enable the Social Login Add-on.

See the image below:

Next, you’re required to configure the social login, including Facebook, Twitter, Google, LinkedIn, and Microsoft, to add them to the login form. 

Note: Here, we’ve configured Microsoft's social login.

See, Microsoft Social Login works fine with the newly created login slug with WPS Hide Login:

That’s great! You can enable the rest of the Add-Ons side by side, except Hide Login.
