Description

This plugin enhances your WordPress login security by allowing you to change the default login URL (wp-login.php) to a custom slug of your choice. It also blocks direct access to wp-login.php and wp-admin for non-logged-in users.

By default, the custom login slug is set to mysecretlogin when the plugin is activated.

If you change or update the custom login slug, you must re-save your permalinks (go to Settings > Permalinks and click “Save Changes”) to ensure the new login URL works correctly.

Features

  • Change wp-login.php to a custom slug
  • Blocks direct access to wp-login.php
  • Blocks /wp-admin access for non-authenticated users
  • Fully translation ready
  • Admin settings to manage slug
  • Uses WordPress coding and security best practices

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin zip via WordPress Admin > Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin
  2. Activate the plugin
  3. Go to Settings > Login URL to configure your custom login slug

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I forget my custom slug?

You can reset the slug by disabling the plugin via FTP or phpMyAdmin and reactivating it.
