Very important for safety

Meddling with htaccess always goes south on me unless I use the old notepad. I rarely have time to. This workaround does the same thing; and is just as good. Now, how do I remove access to wp-login.ph

by SmileWP

Does exactly what it says it will do

Installed, activated, found Settings, set it to allow dashboard for only Admins, Editors, and Authors. Works perfectly right out of the box.
