In this short video, you will learn one of the basic and primary ways to improve WordPress security by simply changing the login URL.

As you probably know, the default WordPress login URL is /wp-login.php.

The issue with this is that this URL is the same for all WordPress sites. This makes it easy for automated spam-bots and hack-bots to test and brute-force logins on WordPress sites.

To make it a little bit harder to find the default login page, we change the URL. I have my URL that I normally use, and you can find your own.

Note: Don’t be careless and use something like /login.

Then, you’re not improving your security at all.

This video is a must-learn lesson so you can help your clients improve the baseline security of their WordPress websites in a simple way.
