WordPress plugin
Protect WP Admin Pro
Protect WP Admin Pro changes how visitors reach the WordPress login page and administration area without modifying WordPress core files. Set a custom login path such as /myadmin, rename the wp-admin area completely, and block access through the default wp-admin and wp-login.php URLs.

Control dashboard access
Restrict dashboard access to administrators or specified visitor IDs, and redirect unauthorized visitors and bots. Blocking the default login URLs can stop many automated requests aimed at the usual login page.
Manage login options and appearance
Set login attempt limits, track login history, and change usernames. Add a custom logo, adjust login-page colors, and use additional style controls. The login functions work independently of your theme.
Configure the login path
- Choose a custom login path.
- Decide whether dashboard access should be limited to administrators or selected user IDs.
- Configure redirects for unauthorized visitors, then review the login attempt, history, username, and styling settings.
If the new login path displays a 404 page, ensure .htaccess is writable and permalinks are not set to Plain.
Recover access after a lockout
If you cannot reach the administrator area, rename the plugin folder through FTP, for example from /protect-wp-admin to /pwa-disabled. This disables the plugin so you can restore access and review its configuration.
