Dotsquares Custom Login URL & Security Suite
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.
