FAQ
-
What happens to wp-login.php after enabling the plugin?
-
When enabled, direct access to
wp-login.phpis blocked. Only the custom login URL you define will work. This prevents bots and attackers from targeting the default login URL. -
Can I still access wp-admin directly?
-
If you are not logged in, direct access to
/wp-admin/will redirect you to the custom login URL. After logging in,/wp-admin/works normally.
