cPanel directory password protection issue

    I’m wondering if there is a workaround for this issue? If I password protect the wp-admin directory by using the cPanel AND I use the Hide Backend Option of BWPS then I cannot login to the admin section. This makes sense because the cPanel works outside of BWPS and does not take into account the redirects. Even though with BWPS I probably don’t need this anymore I’m wondering if there is a way to add some code somewhere to work around this. Thank you.

    Hello duanemitchell, you might want to reconsider hiding the backend option.

    AITpro refers to this option as not necessary. Please read the following.

    Yes, it is possible, but why do you think that has any value at all? You cannot hide anything from a Bot – that is just not possible to do. Hackers use automated Bot programs to find whatever they want to find. They will always find whatever they want to find. 😉

    The best website security method is – Action Approach.

    hacker X does bad action Y and the result is Z = Forbidden.

    PayPal and your online bank do not try and hide things – they use an Action Approach to website security. 😉

    Also if it was that important to hide the folders or files then I guess wordpress.org would do the same.

    My humble opinion.

    Kind regards
