Want to reduce the possibility of your website been hacked or hijacked?

With this plugin you can change wp-admin and wp-login.php to any of your choice, making it impossible for the hackers to access your administration login page. Instead of http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/ and http://yourdomain.com/wp-login.php you can have http://yourdomain.com/banana

It's simple to use. New field will be added to Settings -> Permalinks section called WP-Admin slug. All you have to do is to write your desired WP Admin slug and save the settings.

Does this work with Multisite

We don't know yet.

What about the default Admin URLs?

Old WP Admin urls http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/ and http://yourdomain.com/wp-login.php will not be usable until you clear the WP-Admin slug field from Permalink Options page or uninstal the plugin.

The new url is not working, and I can still access the default url

Try re-saving the settings.
