Custom Login URL

Description

Custom Login URL (CLU) is a lightweight plugin that allows to customize default WP login, registration and password
reminder URLs without modifying any files, simple and swift.

Why would anyone would want to use this plugin? Well, after developing some sites it turned
out that site owners do not want to reveal to customers that they are using WordPress, hence the plugin that will mask
original URLs.

What the plugin can do:

change /wp-login.php to for example /user/login/
change /wp-login.php?action=register to for example /user/register/
change /wp-login.php?action=lostpassword to for example /user/remind/
change /wp-login.php?action=logout to for example /user/logout/
you can define your own custom paths for each URL above
set successfull login and logout redirect URLs

In order to make the plugin work you need to have Permalinks enabled in WP Settings.

Installation

Upload custom-login-url folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
Go to wp-admin / Settings / Permalinks and configure your custom URLs

Screenshots

Custom URLs configuration page in wp-admin / Settings / Permalinks panel.

It works with wordpress 4.9.8

Load of tosh

By stereoworld on September 26, 2016

Installed it, changed the URLs (not very clear I might add) and locked myself out. Entering correct login details just refreshed the page until I went BACK to wp-admin, where I was already logged in. Pile of rubbish. Avoid.

Works as promoted

Allows for changing the login, registration, lost password, and logout URLs to something custom. Works great under 4.6.1, even though it does not say it's tested under anything above 4.2.10.

what's the point?

By bostiq on September 3, 2016

Not to be rude, but just went to your WPHelpDesk site and just typed
https://wphelpdesk.com/wp-admin and it redirected to the login page of that site revealing it's a WP site.

So, again, what is the point?

very nice features but Internal Server Error 500

By Basmati on September 3, 2016

very nice features but i got an internal server error 500. in case of internal server error 500 you have to edit the .htaccess who rewrites the urls and import the latest wp database backup. don't install without backup and knowledge of phpmyadmin - the only way to import the latest database, because you won't be able to access /wp-admin/

why its redirecting from wp-login.php to new url??

By monzu02 on September 3, 2016

i just tried this plugin after i change the login url i tried wp-login.php and it redirecting to new url. if its redirecting to new url then this plugin is useless. this plugin should give 404 on wp-login.php

Super and perfect plugin i wanted

very light weight plugin which is i want, it's working perfectly on my site

Plugin that just works

By (flowerheart) on September 3, 2016

Many came before and tried and failed,

Finally here's a plugin that just works at customizing the all the WOrdpress standard login urls the beauty is the old URLs work too.
They redirect to the new URLS.

As someone else has said the dev has done a great job of simply adding the settings for this plugin as additional options in the permalink settings page.

My first review for a WordPress plugin. Great work 5 Stars !!!!

Awesome
