Block Access to wp-login.php

This plugin does the following:

Locates wp-login.php in your WordPress installation and duplicates it
Locates .htaccess and inserts lines to block the default wp-login.php and creates a new secret address to use for legitimate login
Will email the site admin if an administrator signs in with an un-recognised IP address

When installed your server will return “403 Forbidden“ when attempts are made to access the default wp-login.php file. This has two benefits; it prevents hackers from using brute force methods to hack your website and it reduces the load on the server when such brute force attacks are launched on your site as WordPress isn’t run at all.

Instalação

Easily prevent access to the default wp-login.php file:

1) Install Block wp-login automatically or by uploading the ZIP file.
2) Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
3) Once activated, visit “Settings – Permalinks” in the admin menu.
4) At the bottom of the page enter a new login address next to “Block wp-login” or click to create a random address.
5) Make sure you make a note of the new address you will need to use to sign in.
6) Save the settings.

Although this plugin now detects when WordPress has been upgraded and re-installs itself, when upgrading WordPress core, you should still make sure you deactivate this plugin first just in case there is an issue.

Perguntas frequentes

What is /wp-login.php ?
This is the login page for WordPress; hundreds or thousands of hits to this page is not normal and is almost certainly a brute force attempt to hack the admin password.

After using other “hide login” alternatives with varied crappy results, webd’s Block wp-login actually works well and does what it needs to do without challenging the admin. If you want to hide your login - this is it.

The customized login URL stopped working, leading to a "403 Forbidden" page and locking me out of my site. I had to resolve the situation through my host, after which I got back into my dashboard and deactivated this plugin (which, as of this writing, hasn't even been updated in 4 months). A highly inconvenient experience following several weeks of relatively smooth performance. User beware.

After being abandoned and not updated in 5 years, SF Move Login plugin finally started throwing me errors, started a quest to find another login security plugin written as smart or smarter than that little gem ... FOUND IT! Really love your approach here, Scientifically Whitty! 5-Stars ALL DAY LONG! Thank you and Best Wishes!

This plugin does exactly what I need it to do, it hides my login page, and doesn't carry extra weight or complexity. I added this after I discovered a ton of (unsuccessful) attempts to hack into my site through the login process (in addition to requiring all my users to update their passwords to something much stronger). I realize where there is a will there is a way and I'll still be at risk if one or more of my *users* gets hacked and their saved login link and credentials get stolen, but I sure sleep better at night now knowing that my site is just a bit safer.
