   Hi folks,

   I was wondering how I'd go about renaming wp-login.php to
   login.php

   A simple rewrite is nice
   RewriteRule ^login.php wp-login.php
   but it doesnt solve my problem since wp-login.php would still be accesible. I need to replace it completely.

   Any help would be great! Thanks in advance

   Hi fabianv: In case you didn't come up with the answer yet, here's what I did....

   In .htaccess file, I added the following line:
   Redirect /PATH-TO-WORDPRESS/wp-login.php http://www.MYSITE.com/PATH-TO-WORDPRESS/login.php

   Then I renamed the wp-login.php to login.php.

   Seems to work so far... :)

   Ooops, that didn't work so great... Logins don't work now. Gonna keep checking the forum.

   Found this thread in the forum. Doesn't do exactly what you were looking for, but redirects plain wp-login.php to a themed version. Plus a few other neat email notification functions!
