Do not care anymore! 🤗 With **FakeAdmin** you can prevent your admin user from being publicly exposed. ### How does it work? The plugin allows you to create a _"ghost"_ user that looks like your admin user, but without the ability to create or edit anything. Once the **FakeAdmin** user is created, as an administrator, you can work on your _WordPress_ site without worrying about exposing your admin user to the public. Everything you create or edit will be attributed to the user **FakeAdmin** and the security of your site will not be compromised. It's a simple and effective solution! Now you can work on your site with peace of mind knowing that you are protecting you. = More info = * [Github project page](https://github.com/pigeonposse/fake-admin) == Screenshots == 1.
