Admin Login Guard & Branding

Admin Login Guard & Branding is the ultimate solution to secure your WordPress website by allowing you to change your WordPress login URL to a custom slug. By hiding the default wp-login.php and wp-admin pages, you instantly protect your site against brute force attacks, bot networks, and unauthorized login attempts.

Beyond just acting as a “hide login” plugin, it provides a comprehensive suite of security features to limit login attempts, track failed logins in real-time, and enforce strict access control.

Want to white-label your WordPress dashboard? Admin Login Guard & Branding also lets you fully customize the visual appearance of your login page to seamlessly match your brand identity with custom logos, backgrounds, colors, and fonts.

It fully supports WordPress Multisite networks, allowing you to easily control login settings and branding across your entire network from a central location.

Privacy & Data Collection

This plugin respects your privacy. Both the diagnostic tracking and deactivation feedback features are 100% optional.

If you decide to deactivate the plugin, a feedback modal will appear. Providing feedback is entirely optional—you can click “Skip & Deactivate” to deactivate the plugin immediately without sharing any data. You may optionally share your name and email address if you wish to be contacted for support.

Data Security

All collected data is encrypted using AES-256-CBC before being transmitted to our secure receiver server.

External services

1. Telemetry / Diagnostics receiver

This plugin connects to an API to send anonymous site-health data, it’s needed to help prioritize compatibility updates.
It sends the Site URL, plugin name & version, PHP version, WordPress version, active theme name & version, site language, multisite status, and a Unix timestamp every time the plugin is activated, deactivated, or updated, ONLY if the administrator has explicitly opted in.
This service is provided by “Code and Core”: privacy policy.

2. Deactivation feedback receiver

This plugin connects to an API to receive voluntary feedback, it’s needed when a site administrator chooses to share a reason for deactivating the plugin.
It sends Deactivation reason, optional details, Site URL, plugin name & version, PHP version, WordPress version, active theme name & version, site language, multisite status, and a timestamp ONLY when the administrator clicks “Submit Feedback” in the deactivation modal. Name and email are sent only if the contact checkbox is checked.
