Overview

Custom Login URL (CLU) is a lightweight plugin that allows to customize default WP login, registration and password
reminder URLs without modifying any files, simple and swift.

Why would anyone would want to use this plugin? Well, after developing some sites it turned

Not to be rude, but just went to your WPHelpDesk site and just typed
https://wphelpdesk.com/wp-admin and it redirected to the login page of that site revealing it’s a WP site.

So, again, what is the point?
