How to change WordPress login path? What benefits does it have for web security?
Hi, the default path to access the admin page on WordPress is usually https:///wp-admin.
With this URL (path) structure, your website/blog is very vulnerable to attack. Because anyone can use the username and password detection methods to log in to the admin page.
For better security, you need to change the default admin page path.
I would recommend the plugin “WPS HIDE LOGIN”. With 900,000+ installs on the WordPress plugin page, add simplicity and efficiency.
This is not a comprehensive way to secure the website. The ways I guide in this article, are just a small part to enhance the security of WordPress blog.
1. Installation: you go to Plugins => select Add new and then type the keyword “wps hide login”:
2. Usage:
Go to settings => WPS Hide Login here there are 2 items
- Login url: change the /wp-admin path to the url you want. To increase security, you should choose URLs that are easy to remember and only you know.
- Redirection url: redirect when not this path. Specifically, the image above will redirect to the 404.php page, which is the current page when the web error is encountered.
