We added an additional login page a few months ago for security reasons. This page, should show you the actual user name and password that you can use to log in to your Admin page. If you continue to experience problems logging in, you can contact us at 1-866-221-7878 and we can walk you through it.

Hi David,

This plugin can be used as a solution to your issue http://wordpress.org/plugins/theme-my-login/

You can use the plugin to change the URL of the login page and as long as you change it to anything other than the default URL, the pop-up will not occur.

If you need help setting the plugin up, feel free to contact us at 1-866-221-7878!

However, we have a password-protected page on our website for our members, and the pop-up requesting webnames credentials also comes up on that page. It’s confusing for our members – can this be changed so that only the admin page of the site is affected?

Thanks!
