WP Hide Security Enhancer is a lightweight, user-friendly WordPress plugin that allows you to change the default login URL (wp-login.php
) to a custom oneβwithout editing any core files. It helps protect your website from brute-force attacks and unauthorized access.
By default, all WordPress sites use the same login paths (wp-login.php
and wp-admin
), making them easy targets for automated bots and brute-force attacks.
WP Hide Security Enhancer improves your siteβs security by hiding the login page and letting you create a custom login URL that only you know. This simple change makes it much harder for attackers to even find your admin panel.
