DiscourseConnect Provider Questions

That is the expected behaviour. The “Path to your Login Page” option is used to override the default WordPress login path. It does that by hooking into the WordPress login_url filter.

It doesn’t remove the default login route at /wp-login.php, so you can still go directly to that URL by entering it into your browser’s address bar. Instead of going to /wp-admin, go to /wp-login.php to use the default login page.

I can think of a way that the plugin could be updated to only redirect to the “Path to your Login Page” path for logging into Discourse, but that change would take a bit of work.
