This plugin contains the Move Login module from SecuPress, a comprehensive WordPress security plugin. While this plugin focuses solely on moving your login page, the full SecuPress version includes many other security features such as:

Why move your login page?

By default, WordPress login pages are located at /wp-login.php and /wp-admin/, making them easy targets for bots and attackers. SP Move Login allows you to:

Change your login URL to a custom slug
Protect your registration page (if enabled)
Block access to the default login pages
Display custom error messages or redirect to a custom page when someone tries to access the old login URL

Compatible with multisite installations (includes Single Sign-On support)
Custom error messages for blocked access

Note: This plugin requires pretty permalinks to be enabled. You can activate them in Settings > Permalinks.

FAQ

What does SP Move Login do?

SP Move Login allows you to change your WordPress login URL from the default /wp-login.php to a custom URL of your choice. This helps protect your site from automated bots and brute force attacks that target the default login page.

Why do I need to move my login page?

By default, every WordPress site has its login page at the same location (/wp-login.php), making it an easy target for automated attacks. By moving your login page to a custom URL, you make it much harder for bots to find and attack your login page.

Is SP Move Login compatible with multisite installations?

Yes! SP Move Login is fully compatible with WordPress multisite installations and even includes Single Sign-On (SSO) support for multisite networks.

What if I get locked out?

If you get locked out, you can use the emergency bypass by adding this constant to your wp-config.php file:
define( ‚SFML_ALLOW_LOGIN_ACCESS‘, true );

Remember to remove this constant after you regain access!

Is SP Move Login compatible with all server types?

SP Move Login works best with Apache servers. For Nginx servers, you’ll need to manually add the rewrite rules to your server configuration. The plugin will provide you with the necessary rules.

Can I use SP Move Login with other security plugins?

Yes, SP Move Login can work alongside other security plugins, but we recommend using the full SecuPress version for a complete, integrated security solution.

Where can I find more security features?

Check out the full SecuPress version which includes many more security features like firewall, malware scanning, backups, and more.

Simple and effective. It moves my login page to a custom address. Only issue I’ve noticed in wp 5.3 is that I get asked to verify my email when logging in. Trying to do so results in a failed login. Maybe due to this plugin?

Doesn’t work. Website still loads login page at wp-admin so this plugin is entirely worthless.

Malheureusement, Move Login n’est pas encore compatible avec Wordpress 4.9+

My site was under brute-force attack. I changed my login page with this plugin, and hackers no longer have access. Of course, you have to take some extra precautions for security, but this plugin protects the login page in a simple and efficient way. Thanks for this plugin!
