Descrición
Mamotte! Login URL Changer protects your WordPress site by replacing the default /wp-login.php with a custom URL of your choice. Unauthorized users who don’t know the secret URL will receive a 404 error or be redirected to the top page — keeping bots and brute-force attacks away from your login screen.
Key Features
- Custom login URL — Set any slug (e.g.
myloginor2024/secret) as your new login endpoint. - Flexible block behavior — Choose to show a 404 page or redirect to the site top when the original URL is accessed.
- IP whitelist — Restrict login access to specific IP addresses. Editors can register their own personal IP from the dashboard.
- Trusted device management — Skip repeated authentication challenges on devices you trust (via OTP cookie).
- Login question (story quiz) — Generate a unique story-based CAPTCHA from your own word lists (characters, places, drinks, foods, activities, items, animals). Makes login both secure and fun.
- Login screen designer — Customize the login page’s background color, button color, logo, form style, and more — all with a live preview.
- Contact form tab — Configure a built-in inquiry form displayed on the login screen.
- Access log — View a history of login attempts with IP addresses, results, and timestamps.
- Editor-safe settings — Editors (non-administrators) can update only their own IP entry via Ajax; all other settings require administrator privileges.
- Clean uninstall — All plugin data is removed from the database on deletion.
Use Cases
- Block automated brute-force attacks without a heavy security plugin.
- Add a lightweight second layer of authentication for small teams.
- Customize the login experience to match your brand.

mamotte-login-url-changerfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install it directly from the WordPress Plugin Directory. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.

- Important: Bookmark your new login URL before saving. If you forget it, you will not be able to log in.
Preguntas frecuentes
-
I forgot my custom login URL. How do I get back in?
-
Connect to your server via FTP/SFTP or your hosting file manager and deactivate the plugin by renaming the plugin folder (e.g.
mamotte-login-url-changermamotte-login-url-changer-off). WordPress will automatically deactivate it and restore the defaultwp-login.php. After logging in, rename the folder back and reactivate. -
Can I use a subfolder-style slug like `2024/secret`?
-
Yes. Slash-separated slugs are supported and treated as a pseudo-folder URL.
-
Which slugs are reserved and cannot be used?
-
The following slugs are blocked:
wp-login.php,wp-login,wp-admin,admin,login,dashboard. -
Does this plugin work with caching plugins?
-
Yes, but make sure your caching plugin excludes the custom login URL from caching. Add the slug to the exclusion list in your cache plugin’s settings.
-
Will the plugin work with multisite?
-
Multisite is not officially supported in the current version.

- Added: New plugin entry for Tobidase Swipe Lightbox
