Description

Dotsquares Custom Login URL & Security Suite helps secure your WordPress site by allowing you to change the default login URL and apply additional security layers.

Features included in this plugin:

  • Custom login slug (redirect wp-login.php to your custom slug)
  • Optionally hide wp-login.php (404 for guests)
  • Optionally hide wp-admin for guests (404)
  • Login page designer (colors, background, form width, custom CSS)
  • Brute force protection (limit failed login attempts)
  • Firewall (block XML-RPC, block suspicious query strings, IP allow/block lists, disallow file editor)
  • Malware scanner (heuristic scan for suspicious PHP patterns)
  • Hardening (Advanced): DB prefix change + wp-content rename with backup + rollback support
  • Rollback system (restores backed-up wp-config.php / .htaccess from plugin backups)
  • Security dashboard for monitoring key protection settings

Important

Hardening actions such as DB prefix change and wp-content rename are advanced operations.
Always run these features on a staging environment and ensure you have a full backup before applying them on production.
