Hide Login Shield allows you to change the default login URL from wp-login.php<\/code> to a custom path. This increases security by obscuring the standard login route that attackers typically target.<\/p>\n\n

Key Features:<\/strong>\n* Easily set a custom login URL (e.g., yoursite.com\/mylogin<\/code>).\n* Redirects attempts to access the default login page to your homepage.\n* If you forget the custom login URL, you can restore access by disabling or removing the plugin via FTP or your hosting file manager.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin enhances security by making it harder for unauthorized users to guess your login URL. It uses WordPress hooks and rewrite rules without modifying core files.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the hide-login-shield<\/code> folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
  3. Go to \"Settings > Hide Login Shield\" to set your custom login URL.<\/li>\n
  4. Save the changes. The plugin will display the new login URL after saving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    What if I forget my custom login URL?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    If you forget your custom login URL, you can regain access by disabling or removing the plugin via FTP or your hosting file manager. Once the plugin is disabled, the default wp-login.php<\/code> URL will be restored.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does this plugin change core WordPress files?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. The plugin uses hooks and rewrite rules to alter the login URL without modifying core WordPress files.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
