Beschreibung
Hide WP Admin Login helps you secure your WordPress website by changing the default login URL (wp-login.php and wp-admin) to a custom URL of your choice.
Instead of exposing your login page to bots and attackers, the default URLs will return a 404 Not Found, making it harder for unauthorized users to find your login page.
No core files are modified, and no complex configuration is required.
🚀 Key Features
Change default WordPress login URL easily
Default login URLs return 404 error
Lightweight and fast (no performance impact)
No modification of WordPress core files
Simple and user-friendly settings page
Works with any theme
One-click activation
