Description

This simple and light plugin safely rename wp-login.php and closes access to the WordPress admin panel. The plugin does not change the code of your site, does not rename files and does not make any changes to your server configuration. It can intercept admin pages requests, which means that it can work on any WordPress site, regardless of your server.

There are several levels of security in the plugin. When changing the login page you will receive an email with an access recovery link if you forget the login page address. In addition, the plugin will take care that your posts and pages addresses do not intersect with the new login page address, since if the addresses are the same, the login page will be looped.

Why you should hide WP admin and Hide my WordPress?

Dozens of bots daily attacks your WordPress admin area at /wp-login.php and /wp-admin/, brute force passwords and wanting to access your admin panel. Even if you are sure that you have created a hard and reliable password, this does not guarantee security and does not relieve your login page overload. The easiest way to hide login page is simply change its address to a unique one that will be known only to you.

FEATURES

Hide wp-login.php, wp-signup.php and block access
Hide wp admin directory and block access
Allows you to rename login url
Works with permalinks and without
There is an opportunity to restore access to hidden login page

Functions related to authorization, such as registration, password recovery, registration confirmation will continue to work in usual mode.

If you are using a cache plugin, you should add your new login URL prefix in the stop caching list.

The wp-admin directory and the wp-login.php page will be unavailable, so it’s important to create a bookmark or remember new custom login page url. Deactivating this plugin will return your site to its previous usual state.

This sort of works... for about a split second. Type yoursite/wp-admin immediately reveals the 'hidden' login page 🙁 Not sure if wordpress is redirecting to the hidden page or if some other plugin is doing that. In either case this does not protect the login page if someone types yoursite/wp-admin instead of wp-login.php 🙁

I don't recommend this plugin to anyone. Firstly, as explained by another user in the support forum, it is possible for a hacker to circumvent this and all other plugins of this type if they use Firefox. So if none of the hackers that know this happen to target your site, you'll be fine, but it is highly probable that you will still be targeted by brute-force attacks. You'll get fewer of them, but won't eliminate them. As if that isn't bad enough, after using this plugin for a while, both the default login page and the custom one generated by this plugin returned a 404, locking me out of my admin panel. I had to manually delete or rename the plugin folder in my file manager in order to regain access. No plugin is worth that kind of a headache, particularly if it isn't even blocking all attacks to begin with. Aside from all that is the fact that this plugin receives absolutely zero support. Check the support forum and you will easily see that the developer has never responded to anything, ever. So, if it happens to work for you, great. But it probably won't, and if it doesn't, you will get absolutely no help. Just use a good password and maybe throw in a plugin like Limit Login Attempts or Wordfence or something of that nature.

I already have "limit login attempts" installed along with "two factor login" but that doesn't stop hackers from trying. They get logged out after three attempts but then a change of IP address and they try again. So far today in the 15 hours since midnight I've had 166 logouts on one of my sites. Each time I get an email advising me. I've just installed this plugin and it's all stopped. How about that!! I must confess I was concerned about the install just in case something went wrong but all is well. Any author who is willing to offer their expertise free of any formal charge is to be commended. Thank you very much. I only think it's a pity the author does not acknowledge and respond to the one or two people who ask for assistance but from me it's five stars. EDIT I guess it either works and gets five stars or it doesn't and gets one star. Despite having changed my login address to something "unguessable" and known only to me, a hacker has found the login page. This is not the first time. I reported this in a support thread some while ago and the author claimed it was not possible. I can only say the author needs to look again as right now this plugin has a security flaw that somehow allows a hacker to penetrate it. Perhaps because it's not been updated for some while and needs some further attention. Pity as it was doing so well.
