Malicious bots and brute-force attacks constantly scan these URLs to break into your website, draining your server resources and risking your data. **LevelNetwork Custom Login Protector** solves this instantly using the power of smart obscurity and beautiful design. This lightweight, high-performance plugin allows you to **hide your default login URL** and replace it with a unique, secret path of your choice (e.g., `yoursite. com/my-secret-access`). Any unauthorized bot or hacker trying to access the standard login entry points will be automatically blocked and redirected to your homepage or a 404 error page. But security doesn’t have to look boring. Beyond elite protection, you can completely** rebrand and customize your WordPress login page** to match your corporate identity or client’s brand. No coding required! Choose from 11 premium, pre-designed visual layouts—including _Frosted Glass_, _Cyberpunk_, _Minimalist_, and _Neumorphic_ styles— and easily upload your custom logo or background image. #### Why Choose LevelNetwork Custom Login Protector? * **Instant Brute-Force Protection:** Stop malicious login attempts before they even reach your form. * **100% Client-Ready Rebranding:** Impress your clients by replacing the generic WordPress login screen with a fully customized, premium portal. * **Ultra-Lightweight & Fast:** Built strictly on native WordPress standards.

Upload the `levelnetwork-custom-login-protector` directory to your `/wp-content/ plugins/` directory, or install it directly through the WordPress plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 3. Navigate to **Settings > Login Protector** in your WordPress admin dashboard. 4. Set your new Custom Login URL, choose your redirect slug for blocked attempts, and select your favorite layout. 5. Save the settings. 6. **Important:** Remember to bookmark your new login URL! ## FAQ ### What happens if I forget my custom login URL and get locked out? If you forget your custom login URL, you can easily regain access via FTP or your hosting control panel’s File Manager. Navigate to the `wp-content/plugins/` directory and rename the folder `levelnetwork-custom-login-protector` to something else (e. g., `levelnetwork-custom-login-protector-disabled`). This will instantly deactivate the plugin and restore the default `wp-login.php` URL. ### Do I need to update my permalinks after saving? Yes. After setting a new login URL or changing an existing one, it is highly recommended to go to **Settings > Permalinks** and simply click the “Save Changes” button to safely flush the WordPress rewrite rules. ### Is this plugin compatible with caching plugins? Absolutely. However, to prevent login loops or cached nonces, you must ensure your new custom login URL slug is excluded from being cached in your caching plugin’s settings (e.g., WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, W3 Total Cache). ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Custom Login Protector – Hide Login URL & Brute Force Security” is open source software.
