Wow that is strange since the .htaccess condition says do not do anything when the URI/URL is /wp-admin/.  That issue did not occur on our testing website using Google Chrome.  The only logical explanations that I can think of would be a cache issue – either Browser or plugin cache, some sort of Cloud/CDN/Proxy issue, a plugin or theme on this site is doing something unusual or there is a DNS record created for this Domain that is doing something like forwarding or aliasing.

Hello again! The security of BPS is amazing… Makes life very challenging, even for the administrator of the site 🙂 So, I have everything working perfectly, thank you for that.

As per your reply regarding access to the wp-admin section, I have tried to add the code but it will not update. BPS is totally blocking access. I have tried editing the htaccess file, directly on the server but it will not update. I have tried editing the htaccess locally, then when I try to upload to the server again with FTP, it gives me the following error:

Command: STOR .htaccess
Response: 553 Can’t open that file: Permission denied
Error: Critical file transfer error

How can I get around this? I need to get back in there so that I can get it all set up properly for my webmaster tools account and complete this domain transfer.

Thank you,
Dave

Ok, thank you, I was able to edit and load the htaccess file.

I still cannot access the login page though. Is there something wrong with how this is set up?

RedirectMatch 301 ^/immunocal.and.skin_cancer\.php$ http://immunocal.md/cancer/

As you can see, the code is before the other redirects (these are the old redirects) and at the bottom of the list is the final redirect you gave me yesterday, which takes all the old pages to the new site.

What did I do wrong?
Thanks,
Dave

No problem, thanks again for all your help and your awesome plugin!
