It secures your website by hiding the default` wp-login.php` and `wp-admin` pages from unauthorized access, brute-force attacks, and malicious bots. In addition to security, it allows you to completely rebrand your login screen to match your identity. #### Key Features * **Hide Default Login:** Change the default WordPress login URL to a custom, secret slug of your choice. * **Block Unauthorized Access:** Automatically redirect any direct attempts to access `wp-login.php` or the `wp-admin` directory (for non-logged-in users) to a specific URL (e.g., your 404 page or homepage). * **Login Page Customization:** Choose from 11 pre-designed layouts (e.g., Cyberpunk, Neumorphic, Frosted Glass, Geometric, Minimalist). * **Custom Logo:** Easily upload or select a custom logo to replace the default WordPress branding. * **Custom CSS:** Add your own CSS rules to further tweak the design and background images of the login page. * **Lightweight:** Optimized for performance, ensuring your site speed remains completely unaffected. ## Screenshots [⌊The main settings panel for URL configuration and Redirection.⌉⌊The main settings panel for URL configuration and Redirection.⌉[ The main settings panel for URL configuration and Redirection.

Upload the `levelnetwork-custom-login-protector` directory to your `/wp-content/ plugins/` directory, or install it directly through the WordPress plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Navigate to **Settings > Login Protector** in your WordPress admin dashboard. 4. Set your new Custom Login URL, choose your redirect slug for blocked attempts, and select your favorite layout. 5. Save the settings. 6. **Important:** Remember to bookmark your new login URL! ## FAQ ### What happens if I forget my custom login URL and get locked out? If you forget your custom login URL, you can easily regain access via FTP or your hosting control panel’s File Manager. Navigate to the `wp-content/plugins/` directory and rename the folder `levelnetwork-custom-login-protector` to something else (e. g., `levelnetwork-custom-login-protector-disabled`). This will instantly deactivate the plugin and restore the default `wp-login.php` URL. ### Do I need to update my permalinks after saving? Yes. After setting a new login URL or changing an existing one, it is highly recommended to go to **Settings > Permalinks** and simply click the “Save Changes” button to safely flush the WordPress rewrite rules. ### Is this plugin compatible with caching plugins? Absolutely. However, to prevent login loops or cached nonces, you must ensure your new custom login URL slug is excluded from being cached in your caching plugin’s settings (e.g., WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache). ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “LevelNetwork Custom Login Protector” is open source software.
