Description

Secure Login URL Hide is a lightweight and secure plugin that allows you to easily change your WordPress login URL to anything you want. This plugin enhances your WordPress security by making the default wp-admin and wp-login.php pages inaccessible to unauthorized users.

Key Features

  • Custom Login URL: Change your login URL to anything you want (e.g., /login/, /signin/, /admin/)
  • Enhanced Security: Blocks access to wp-admin and wp-login.php directories
  • Flexible Redirects: Configure custom redirect URLs for unauthorized access attempts
  • Automatic Logout Handling: Seamless logout functionality with custom login URLs
  • Multisite Compatible: Works with WordPress multisite installations
  • No File Modifications: Doesn’t modify core WordPress files
  • Clean Admin Interface: Simple, focused settings page

How It Works

The plugin intercepts page requests and redirects unauthorized users away from protected areas. It doesn’t rename files or add rewrite rules – it simply works by intercepting requests and providing a secure alternative login method.

Security Benefits

  • Hide Default Login: Prevents brute force attacks on standard WordPress login URLs
  • Reduce Attack Surface: Makes it harder for attackers to find your admin area
  • Custom Access Point: Creates a unique entry point that only you know about
  • No Core Modifications: Safe to use and easy to disable if needed

Perfect For

  • Security-conscious website owners
  • Business websites
  • E-commerce sites
  • Personal blogs
  • Any WordPress site that needs enhanced security

Important Notes

  • Bookmark your new login URL – you won’t be able to access the default WordPress login
  • Test thoroughly before deploying to production
  • Keep your custom URL private – don’t share it publicly
  • Easy to disable – simply deactivate the plugin to restore default behavior

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to my existing login URL?

After activating the plugin and setting a custom URL, the default wp-admin and wp-login.php URLs become inaccessible. You’ll need to use your new custom URL to log in.

Yes! You’ll access your admin area through your new custom login URL. The plugin redirects the login form to your custom URL while maintaining all WordPress functionality.

What if I forget my custom login URL?

Yes, Secure Login URL Hide is designed to work alongside other security plugins. It doesn’t interfere with most security measures and can be used in combination with other security solutions.
