Download Version 1.8

Author: sean212

This plugin will hide /wp-admin/ when you aren't logged in. If a user isn't logged in and they attempt to access /wp-admin/ directly, they will be unable to and it will return a 404. It can also rename the login URL.

Also, you can add HTTP authentication directly from WP admin and add custom username/password combinations for the HTTP auth, or use the WordPress credentials.

This doesn't touch any .htaccess files or change the WordPress core files. All the CSS/Images under /wp-admin/ are still accessible, just not the .php ones.

If you enable HTTP authencation, it will add HTTP auth to the PHP files in /wp-admin/
