Overview
Admin login URL Change is a very lightweight plugin that lets you easily and safely change the URL of the login form page to anything you want. It does not change any core files. It simply intercepts page requests and works on any WordPress website. This is great for your convenience, but it also closes the door to would-be attackers.
Why Use Admin Login URL Change?
WordPress websites are common targets for automated bots and hackers attempting to gain unauthorized access via brute-force login attempts. The default login URLs are widely known, making them easy targets. Admin Login URL Change solves this problem by letting you rename your login URL to something unique, effectively closing this security loophole.
How to use the plugin
Add New login Slug (Example: madmin)

Excellent Little Plugin
by Cam Bruhns·7 months ago·1 reply
This plugin works exactly as expected and is no-frills, lightweight, and makes other robust competitor plugins used for this purpose look clunky. Great job! Thanks!
It always works
by devjesus·1 year ago·2 replies
I have installed this plugin on several websites and it always works with no issues.
The only thing that I don’t see right is that after login with the custom url it shows a 404 page message (always on every installation I have made); I can navigate the WordPress admin/backend using the top menu., but it should go to the main dashboard page by default.
Is there a way to fix/solve it ? Thank you in advanced
Perfect and The best!

Thanks for solving this with a usable and functional plugin. I tested more than a few plugins and tried creating my own. Could not quite get it to work. This plugin works perfectly. Any of the built in redirects fail with a proper 404 (/dashboard, /login, /admin, /wp-admin, etc).
This plugin does not create files or the .htaccess file. Just enter a new slug, done.
