Description

Change wp-admin login is a light plugin that allows you easily and safely to change wp-admin to anything you want. It does not rename or change files in core. It simply intercepts page requests and works on any WordPress website. After you activate this plugin the wp-admin directory and wp-login.php page will become unavailable, so you should bookmark or remember the url. Disable this plugin brings your site back exactly to the state it was before.

Useless

It manages to add a link to wp-admin, but still remains accessible from the classic wp-admin

Does one thing and does it good

It's lightweight and it does what it says.

Does what it says

ionut মে 10, 2022
It's a nice, simple and lightweight plugin that does what it says. No problems so far. You can find the settings in the Settings > Permalinks > Change wp-admin login. Would probably make more sense to have "Change wp-admin login" as first or last in the permalinks section, as now it's between the Optional and Product permalinks. But I don't know how often you change permalinks to even see that as a problem so... yeah... ignore that 😅

Excellent!

Simply, effective and light-weight! Thank you for making this available.

Copycat plugin! Pathetic!

ScratchTheWeb এপ্রিল 27, 2022
This is nothing but a copycat plugin. And instead of redirecting to the homepage, it redirects to a 404 url just like in the original plugin.

Very useful and functional
