Limits access to wp-admin and wp-login.php also provides a sign-in shortcut

Use scenario: WordPress as a CMS with "administrator" accounts only. To make logins even more secure, consider making the "Sign In" page protected.

  • When not logged in, it prevents any and all access to the admin area, or any related URLs .. such as /wp-login.php etc.
  • It provides a shortcode that can be added to a sign-in page, to allow logging in from the front-end.

WARNING: When the plugin is activated, access to the normal login for WordPress is disabled. To allow login access, create a page, for example “Sign In”, and add the shortcode [login_form].
