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

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.

Does not work w/ Cornerstone Version 2.1.7+ Xtheme Version: 5.2.5

Does not work w/ Cornerstone Version 2.1.7+ Xtheme Version: 5.2.5. It worked with previous versions but doesn’t work anymore. It was fun while it lasted. Maybe the author will update.
