Hiding wp-admin folder on your wordpress site

Securing your website is a very crucial part of being a webmaster especially if you are using CMS like wordpress. WordPress is the past has been a testing ground of hackers making infected sites zombies that follow orders from the hackers. Fortunately, wordpress has updated their platform to be bulletproof from possible future attacks and make webmasters websites more secure.

However, you can’t deny the fact that your wp-admin folder is bare naked for the public access. Everyone can just visit your login page by just going to https://hackolo.com/wp-admin and there you have it! The webmasters login page! Makes me anxious knowing that everyone can easily go there and input  some random username and password until they got the correct ones. Although this is very unlikely to happen since there are Billions of combination your keyboard can produce.  Many webmasters uses some general passwords and especially the legendary “admin” as username will dampen your spirit when a hacker successfully entered your website.

Below is the perfect method on hiding your wp-admin folder from public

By the use of a wordpress plugin called iThemes Security Check. Simply install and activate it.

  • Go to your “Plugins” menu and click on “Add Plugin”
  • Search on “ithemes security check” and hit enter

  • The SAVE it! Viola! Now the next time you login is by using the new address you just entered. Don’t forget unless you want to be locked out from your own website!

When someone visited your default login page like https://hackolo.com/wp-admin they will be redirected to a 404 page since this is not working anymore. Just like the image below.
