Hi everyone, welcome to KeyTube blogging and in this video, I will show you how you can
0:04
hide the login URL in your WordPress website. So when you try to log into your backend, you need to enter something like wp-admin
0:14
and if you hit enter, it will log into your backend, but you can disable that login URL
0:22
and you can add a custom login URL for your WordPress website
0:26
So in this way, you can protect your website from malicious bots and hackers
0:32
So let's check how you can disable the default login URL and change it to a different login URL
0:39
So I will show you in this website, it's a soft domain of KeyTube blogging
0:45
So let's change the login URL here. So what I can do is I will install a plugin
0:50
So I will just go to plugins and I will click on add new. So you can use various plugins, but I prefer these plugins like wp-hide
1:01
wp-hide login. So you can install this plugin and you can also use several plugins like you can also
1:08
use the popmetas plugin to hide your login URLs. So here you will get a lot of plugins for that
1:16
So I will install this plugin, wp-hide. Now let's click on the settings here and here you will see this option login URL
1:25
So here you can change this login to something like learn. So instead of wp-admin, you need to enter forward slash learn to enter to your login page
1:37
So let me just click on save here and you can also set a redirection URL if you want
1:43
So as you can see that we have changed the login URL here. So it is saying that you need to bookmark this page for future use
1:51
So let me just close here and let me just go to the website in incognito mode first
1:58
and let me just enter the website. Now I can enter like wp-admin and I will hit enter
2:09
And as you can see that it is saying 404 pages, but I can login to my backend by adding that
2:17
same key phrase learn. So let me just hit enter here and as you can see that now I am login to my login page and
2:25
in this way you can hide the login URL of your WordPress website using this plugin
2:29
And if you face any problem in this method, then you can disable this plugin from your
2:36
backend. If you forget this key phrase, then you can disable that plugin and solve the login URL
2:42
issue in your WordPress website. So I have already covered how you can disable plugins from the backend
2:48
So all you have to do is just go to the hosting panel of your WordPress website and disable
2:53
that plugin. So you can watch this video to learn more about it
2:57
So if you don't want to use a separate plugin that if you are using popmatters plugin, then
3:03
you can also do that. So let me just go to the plugins here and I will click on add new here and let me just
3:09
quickly upload the popmatters plugin here. And let me just install it now and let me just activate this plugin
3:20
And as you can see that we have activated the popmatters plugin. So let me just deactivate this WPS hide login from here and I will go to settings and I
3:30
will go to popmatters. And here you will see this option login URL
3:35
So you can also add the same key phrase. So let me just add the key phrase like help
3:43
So instead of WP admin, I will log into my admin access by entering forward slash help
3:48
So let me just click on save changes here. And again, I will go to the website in incognito mode
3:57
Website in incognito mode. And I will type like help or let me just enter WP admin first
4:10
And as you can see that WP admin is disabled, but if I type like help, then I can easily
4:17
log into my WordPress website. So in this way, you can use various plugins to hide your login URL
4:24
So either you can use the popmatters plugin, which is a performance plugin in WordPress
4:28
or you can use the WPS hide plugin if you are using any different performance plugin
4:33
So I will list out different plugins that you can use to hide the login access
4:38
And if you want to enable two-factor authentication in your WordPress website to make it more secure
4:43
then you can watch this video. I will see you in the next one. Thank you
