## Description

**Secure WordPress Admin – Change & Hide Login URL** improves your website’s login
security by allowing you to replace the default WordPress login page (wp-login.php)
with any custom slug of your choice. It also blocks direct access to both **wp-login.
php** and **/wp-admin/** for all non-logged-in users.

Upon activation, the plugin automatically sets the custom login slug to **mysecretlogin**.

Example: https://yourwebsite.com/mysecretlogin

You can update the slug anytime from the settings page.
 **Important:** After changing
the custom slug, go to **Settings  Permalinks** and click **Save Changes** to ensure
the new login URL works correctly.

This plugin is lightweight, fast, and follows WordPress coding standards without
modifying core files.

### Features

 * Change **wp-login.php** to a custom login slug
 * Default login slug automatically set to **mysecretlogin**
 * Blocks direct access to **wp-login.php**
 * Blocks unauthorized access to **/wp-admin/**
 * Simple admin settings page to manage the slug
 * Fully translation-ready
 * Uses WordPress security best practices
 * Zero impact on site performance

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin ZIP via **WordPress Admin  Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**
 2. Activate the plugin
 3. Go to **Settings  Login URL** to configure your custom login slug

## FAQ

### What if I forget my custom login slug?

You can regain access by disabling the plugin via FTP or phpMyAdmin.
 After deactivation,
the default wp-login.php URL will work again.

### Does it conflict with other login plugins?

It may conflict with plugins that modify or customize the login process, since it
directly handles the login URL behavior.
