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.
