wsecure lite

The wSecure plugin hides admin URL so that “www.yoursite.com/wp-admin” will no longer bring up the admin page.

Instead, wSecure allows you to set your own admin URL using a secret key(for example: www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/?secret).

Only people who enter the secret key will be able to access your admin area.

Features

The Basic Version will hide your administrator URL from public access. This is all most people need.

• Set “Enable” to “yes” in order for wSecure to work.
• In the “Key” field enter the key that will be part of your new administrator URL. For example,
  if you enter “wSecure” into the key field, then the administrator URL will be http://www.yourwebsite/wp-admin/?wSecure.
  Please note that you cannot have a key that is only numbers.
• If you do not enter a key, but enable the wSecure plugin, then the default URL to access the administrator area is /?wSecure
  (http://www.yourwebsite/wp-admin/?wSecure).
• Set the “Redirect Options” field. By default, if someone tries to access you /wp-admin URL without the correct key, they
  will be redirected to the home page of your WordPress site. You can also set up a “Custom Path” is you would like the user
  to be redirected somewhere else, such as a 404 error page.
• Click on the save button to make changes.

The Advanced version has additional features that you can have.

• Mail tab: This sets whether you want an email to be sent every time there is a failed login attempt into the WordPress administration area. You can set it to send the wSecure key or the incorrect key that was entered.
• IP tab: This tab allows you to control which IPs have access to your admin URL.
• White Listed IPs: If set to “White Listed IPs” you can make a white list for certain IPs. Only those specific IPS will be allowed to access your admin URL.
• Blocked IPs: If set to “Blocked IPs” you can block certain IPs form accessing your admin URL.
• Master Password: You can block access to the wSecure component from other administrators.
  Setting to “Yes”, allows you to create a password that will be required when any administrator tries to access
  the wSecure configuration settings in the WordPress administration area..
• Master Mail: These setting allow you to have an email sent every time the wSecure configuration is changed.
• Log: This setting allows you to decide how long the wSecure logs should remain in the database.
