Description
Secure WordPress Admin – Change & Hide Login URL improves your website’s login security by allowing you to replace the default WordPress login page (wp-login.php) with any custom slug of your choice. It also blocks direct access to both wp-login.php and /wp-admin/ for all non-logged-in users.
Upon activation, the plugin automatically sets the custom login slug to mysecretlogin.
Example:
https://yourwebsite.com/mysecretlogin
You can update the slug anytime from the settings page.
Important: After changing the custom slug, go to Settings Permalinks and click Save Changes to ensure the new login URL works correctly.
This plugin is lightweight, fast, and follows WordPress coding standards without modifying core files.
