Описание
Secure Login Shield helps you lock down your WordPress login page.
By default, WordPress exposes /wp-login.php and /wp-admin/. Bots hammer these URLs every day.
This plugin gives you a private login slug (e.g. /dragon-lair) and hides the default login endpoint:
- Defaults to
/wp-login.phpuntil you change it. - Once changed, only your custom slug works.
- Direct access to
/wp-login.phpshows a 404 Not Found (stealth mode). - Logged-out visitors hitting
/wp-admin/are redirected to the homepage. - Deactivate the plugin everything reverts to normal.
Made with ❤️ by Ben Treder

Часто задаваемые вопросы
-
Will this break my site?
-
No. By default it uses
/wp-login.phpuntil you change it. Deactivating the plugin instantly reverts WordPress to normal behavior. -
Can I completely block /wp-login.php?
-
Yes. Once you set a slug,
/wp-login.php(and actions) return a 404 Not Found. -
What if I forget my private slug?
-
Deactivate the plugin via FTP (delete or rename
secure-login-shield). WordPress will go back to/wp-login.php. -
Does this work with caching plugins or CDNs?
-
Yes, but after changing your slug, you should clear cache/CDN to avoid serving stale redirects.
