Hello HF
This tutorial is for members that use wordpress on their websites. Now to login to the wordpress admin panel, there are two main ways. The front end way:
Or the backend way:
However, hackers may attempt to brute force your site, or attempt to log on. There is a very simple way to protect this, and that is to use the Lockdown WP Admin plugin.
This is a very useful plugin and i use it on my own wordpress sites.
The plugin hides the WordPress Admin login pages (/wp-admin/ and wp-login/) when a user isn'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.
Using this plugin, you can also rename the login URL, so that you can make the URL whatever you wish, EG:
If this helped you, please post saying thanks :D
