Description
Limits access to wp-admin and wp-login.php also provides a sign-in shortcut
Use scenario: WordPress as a CMS with “administrator” accounts only. To make logins even more secure, consider making the “Sign In” page protected.
- When not logged in, it prevents any and all access to the admin area, or any related URLs .. such as /wp-login.php etc.
- It provides a shortcode that can be added to a sign-in page, to allow logging in from the front-end.
WARNING: When the plugin is activated, access to the normal login for WordPress is disabled. To allow login access, create a page, for example “Sign In”, and add the shortcode [login_form].

Reviews
plain, simple and secure
Let me be the first to rate this plugin.
5 stars, well earned.
We host hundreds of WP websites and use fail2ban to block bots who scan wp-admin and wplogin.php
Even that causes a whole lot of load on the servers.
This simple plugin works as it should and it lets us easily change the login page in an elegant way.
Thank you.
