Customize and protect the WordPress login entry point
Admin Login URL Change Pro lets you replace the familiar WordPress login URL with a custom slug. The plugin intercepts page requests without changing core files, providing a way to use a less predictable address for the login form.
Changing the commonly known login paths can help reduce exposure to automated attempts directed at the default WordPress URLs. The Pro edition adds several controls around access, authentication, notifications, and login history, so administrators can manage more of the login workflow from one plugin.
Pro security controls
- IP Address Blocker: Block individual IP addresses or complete CIDR ranges from accessing the custom login page. Configure auto-ban thresholds, ban durations, and email alerts.
- Searchable Country Blocker: Restrict login access to selected countries through a live, searchable database covering more than 200 global regions.
- Login Attempt Limiter: Set maximum retries, retry windows, lockout durations, and warning alerts to address repeated login attempts.
- Two-factor authentication: Add a second verification step using authenticator apps such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator, or use Email OTP.
- Login Alerts: Receive email notifications when someone successfully logs in or fails to log in. Alerts include the IP address, username, and timestamp.
- Login Audit Log: Review expanded login history with user-agent details, with up to 500 entries.
Practical administration
The plugin is intended for site owners who want a custom login address together with configurable controls for access and authentication. IP and CIDR blocking can help manage known sources, while country restrictions provide a broader geographic filter. Attempt limits and lockout settings are useful when you want to define how repeated retries are handled.
Two-factor authentication adds another verification step after the primary login details. You can choose an authenticator-app method or Email OTP according to the available login process. Email alerts and the audit log provide a way to review login activity, including the identifying details supplied by the plugin.
Compatibility and ease of use
Admin Login URL Change Pro is described as working with native WordPress login flows and WooCommerce checkouts and account logins. It does not require coding skills for the basic setup. The custom login address is configured from the plugin’s dashboard menu.
Installation and setup
Install and activate the plugin in WordPress, then go to the Admin Login Slug menu. Enter the custom slug you want to use, such as madmin, and select Save Settings. Bookmark the new login address and test it.
After confirming the custom address, configure the Pro controls you need, including IP or country restrictions, attempt limits, two-factor authentication, email alerts, and audit history. Keep the new login URL available to authorized users who need access.
