Апісанне

Rename wp-admin login is a plugin that allows us to rename wp-admin login URL to anything you want. It does not change WordPress core files, the plugin simply intercepts page requests and works on any WordPress website. After you activate this plugin the wp-admin URL and wp-login.php will become unavailable, so you should bookmark or remember the url. Disable this plugin brings your site back exactly to the state it was before.

After logging in from the new URL, it just goes to the home page and I no longer can enter the admin area. Do people test their code anymore before release? Now I will have to spend all day trying to get back in

This plugin does exactly what it is supposed to do, with little code and reliably. Very good work! The only drawback: After uninstallation, the database entries “rwal_redirect_field” and “rwal_page” must be deleted manually in the “wp-options” table. 😉
