Strengthen the Security of Your WordPress Site with the WPMasterToolKit \"Move Login URL\" Module<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The default WordPress login page, accessible via wp-login.php<\/code>is a frequent target of brute-force attacks and hacking attempts. To enhance your site's security, the Move Login URL<\/strong> in WPMasterToolKit lets you easily modify the connection URL and restrict access to wp-admin<\/code> to connected users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why use this module?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The module Move Login URL<\/strong> adds an essential layer of protection to your WordPress site. By masking and customizing the login URL, it dramatically reduces the risk of automated attacks while offering complete flexibility to customize the user experience. This module can replace well-known plugins such as WPS Hide Login<\/strong> or even Move Login<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

403 for not logged in on \/wp-admin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The new PRO option of the Move Login URL<\/strong> (version \u2264 2.4.0) blocks access to \/wp-admin<\/code> for non-connected users by returning an error 403 Forbidden<\/strong>. In concrete terms, when a visitor tries to access this URL directly without being authenticated, the server blocks the request before it reaches WordPress, thus reducing server load and improving security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This restriction is implemented via specific rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
On Apache<\/strong> A directive .htaccess<\/code> prevents access to non-connected users.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
On Nginx<\/strong> One block server<\/code> checks for the presence of a WordPress session cookie before allowing access.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Enabling this feature improves resistance to brute-force attacks and prevents malicious visitors from scanning \/wp-admin<\/code>and offers an extra layer of protection for your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
