The default admin login URL of WordPress ends with /wp-admin, it is very easy to guess if someone who is familiar with it. This can cause a security issue for your site. In order to prevent that, we can use a plugin to change the admin login page URL.
The retractable hard top’s structure is incredibly light too, thanks to just simple yet ingenious mechanism. It actually weighs 40 kg less than a traditional hard top and 25 kg less than a fabric version.
If you want to hide your admin login page URL manually so that you won’t weigh down your site with another plugin, there may be some risks. It’s because you have to change it manually every time you update your site and it can create errors with the logout screen and other issues.
Although changing the admin login page url will not prevent your site from being hacked completely, but it can add another layer of security to your site. However, you can further add more security layers like limiting the number of login attempts allowed or adding a Two-factor authentication method.
But in this article, I will show you how to only implement a plugin called “WPS Hide Login” to change the login URL.
1. You may need to back up your site first, just in case. Then go to ‘Plugins’
2. Click ‘Add New’
3. Search for WPS Hide Login in the search box to the right.
4. Click ‘Install Now’
5. Click the ‘Activate’ button
6. Once, it’s activated, you should see a new menu to the left panel under the Settings that is called ‘WPS Hide Login.’
7. The section of the plugin should be at the bottom of the Settings page.
8. Rename ‘login’ to something else differently, you may need to bookmark it in your browser. Click the ‘Save Changes’ button once done.
9. Let’s log out to test it. Use your new book
mark URL to login, you should be able to login using the new URL.
