About
Whitelabel your site by hiding wp-login.php in the login and registration URLs
Security History
What It Does
Custom Login URL replaces the default WordPress login and registration endpoints with custom slugs of your choosing, effectively hiding wp-login.php and wp-admin from casual discovery. It is a focused white-labelling and obscurity tool that makes WordPress login screens appear branded under your own URL structure.
Who It's For
This plugin fits agencies, white-label hosts, and internal teams who need to swap out the default /wp-login.php and /wp-register.php URLs to match a client or brand convention. It is best suited to single-site installs where a thin, single-purpose URL changer is preferable to a heavier security suite.
Who Should Skip It
If you run a personal blog or small site that does not need branded login URLs, skip this and rely on the Remember Me checkbox plus standard hardening. Owners of large multisite networks or anyone needing full login-page customisation will find this too narrow.
The Bottom Line
Custom Login URL does one job, renaming login and registration URLs, and it does so with current maintenance and clean compatibility. The tiny install base and absent support history make it a hard sell against WPS Hide Login, which delivers the same feature with vastly more proven traction. Worth considering only if you specifically want a minimal, single-purpose alternative to the dominant option.
