I have set (Hide My) WP Ghost up with “/sso/auth/” as the new login endpoint/url.

On the main site of my multisite network setup it all works like a charm. That said, when I go to a subsite (e.g. /forum/) which has Members’ Private Site option enabled, when I’m not yet logged in, then I end up with a time out due too many redirects (ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS).

It looks like Members isn’t picking up that new login endpoint/url set via (Hide My) WP Ghost.

Here are the settings I use in (Hide My) WP Ghost:

Go to: WP Ghost > Change Paths > Login Security
Custom Login Path: /sso/auth/
Hide “wp-loging.php” ENABLED
Hide /wp-login.php path from visitors.
Hide “login” Path ENABLED
Hide /login path from visitors.
Hide the New Login Path ENABLED
Hide the new login path from visitors. Show the new login path only for direct access.
I initially reached out to (Hide My) WP Ghost and they came back with the following:

Ask to make a compatibility for the plugin in order to work with custom paths
Ask which custom path is creating the issue and remove it from WP Ghost plugin so it doesn’t affect their plugin anymore
So – here I am asking the questions to you 🙂

I did try to troubleshoot further myself already and what I figured out so far is that the option to Hide the New Login Path is the most likely source of the problem.

Can you please have a look into this when time permits?

It would be wonderful to be able to use both awesome plugins fully in tandem.

Btw: Hide My WP Ghost shortened their name starting 2025 to WP Ghost. For clearity I have added (Hide My) everywhere as it’s kind of a transition period I reckon when people are searching for it.
