Description
Hide Login Shield allows you to change the default login URL from wp-login.php to a custom path. This increases security by obscuring the standard login route that attackers typically target.
Key Features:
* Easily set a custom login URL (e.g., yoursite.com/mylogin).
* Redirects attempts to access the default login page to your homepage.
* If you forget the custom login URL, you can restore access by disabling or removing the plugin via FTP or your hosting file manager.
This plugin enhances security by making it harder for unauthorized users to guess your login URL. It uses WordPress hooks and rewrite rules without modifying core files.
