Cope Login

Cope Login allows you to change your WordPress login URL from the default wp-login.php or /wp-admin to anything you like. This helps protect your site from brute-force attacks and automated login attempts by making your login page harder to find.

Features

• Change your login URL to anything you want (e.g., https://yourdomain.com/my-login)
• Prevent use of slugs that already exist as posts, pages, or CPTs
• Only administrators (or super admins on multisite) can change the login URL
• Optional redirect if someone tries to access wp-login.php
• Easy-to-use settings page in the WordPress admin
• No edits to Permalinks or WordPress core files required
• New in v1.1: Customize the login page:
  • Upload a custom logo with optional homepage link
  • Set background color or upload a background image
  • Customize login form fields and button styles
  • Add a custom tagline above the form and footer text

Usage

1. Go to Cope Login in your admin sidebar.
2. Enter your custom login URL slug (e.g., my-login).
3. (Optional) Set a redirect slug for users who visit wp-login.php.
4. Customize your login page under the Login Page Customization tab.
5. Click Save Changes.
6. Important: Bookmark your new login URL. If you lose it, you may not be able to log in.

Example: If your site is at https://www.example.com and you set your login URL to my-login, your new login page will be: https://www.example.com/my-login/

Multisite Support

• Only network super admins can change the login URL.
• Each site in the network can have its own custom login slug if activated per-site.

Security

• Only admins or super admins can change the login settings.
• Slug validation prevents conflicts with existing post/page slugs.
• Requests to wp-login.php can be redirected to a custom URL or homepage.
