Cache Plugins Not Minifying CSS and JS Files
If your cache plugin (WP Rocket, Autoptimize, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache, etc.) stops minifying or combining CSS and JS files when WP Ghost is active, the cache plugin can’t access the original file paths because WP Ghost has changed them. The cache plugin tries to fetch files from the new custom paths, fails to […]
The New Admin Path Is Redirected To Front Page When Logged In
If you’re logged in as an administrator but the custom admin path still redirects to the homepage, the browser session wasn’t established on the new path.

The New Admin Path Is Redirected To Front Page
If your custom admin path (the one you set to replace wp-admin) redirects to the homepage when you’re not logged in, the Hide the New Admin Path option is active.

Temporary Login URL is Redirecting to the Home Page
If clicking a temporary login URL redirects to the homepage instead of logging the user in, the session is being interrupted before authentication completes. Check these causes in order. Clear all caches Clear your WordPress cache plugin, CDN cache, and browser cache. Cached redirects or stale page versions can intercept the temporary login URL before […]
Plugin or Theme Conflicts
If something breaks after activating WP Ghost, the issue is likely a conflict with another plugin or your theme. Follow this process to isolate the conflict. Deactivate other plugins one by one Deactivate all plugins except WP Ghost. If the issue disappears, reactivate plugins one at a time, testing after each one. The plugin that […]
Cannot Access the Login Page After Changing Wp-Login Path
If you can’t reach the login page or see errors after changing the login path in WP Ghost, work through these checks.
