How to Change Your WordPress Login URL | Step by Step Tutorial

A common mistake that you can make with your WordPress website is keeping the default login URL.
This makes it very easy for anyone to access the login page for your WordPress website and gives them the chance to attempt hacking or logging into it.
This is a huge security concern for your WordPress website and it is highly recommended that you change the default login URL into a custom one so that the login page is not easily discoverable.
In this video, we show you how you can easily replace the default login URL for your WordPress website with a custom URL of your own!
The plugin we use in this tutorial is called WPS Hide Login and you can check it out below:
wordpress.org/...

thanks bro you saved me so much time

[@BrainstormForce]

Glad I could help

[@everettumphrey]

Yes, thank you it worked. So I couldn't get in the first few times as the new url I entered had a capital character in it. Guess what! it won't save capital characters, but it saved it as a lowercase instead, numbers and special cahracters are fine, just no capitals. All good got in. Thanks again.

[@BrainstormForce]

You're welcome!

[@danielmihajlovski]

What happens when you delete the plug-in? Does it automatically returns the default login URL?

[@josecalcagni8472]

👉👉👉 Muchas gracias, excelente tutorial. Muy claro y bien explicado además que muy buena solución. Saludos desde Santiago de Chile. 😃👌👍

[@IntuitivelyDriven]

Thank you so much! 😀

[@sabairshad459]

Thanks for saving me

J'imagine qu'en désinstallant le plugin, le site retrouve la page admin d'origine ? I guess that by uninstalling the plug-in, the site returns to the original admin page?

[@rinkap1030]

Hi, won't yet another plugin decrease page speed load time? Astra already comes with a ton of plugins. I understand the security issue, of course, but will this plugin be light enough, or is it better to just use wordfence? Thanks

[@libinsharma1042]

[@BrainstormForce]

Please try after disabling other plugins. Also, you can try after saving the default permalink.

[@natgreene5796]

Does not work, says "plugging has been deactivated "

[@lugasim]

so you're telling me hackers dont have a way to scan your website and figure out exactly what pages it contains? not trying to underestimate your valuable info here, that could help protect you from the wannabe hackers, but not from the real ones ... just saying ... there are better ways to protect your website from hacking.
