Protect your WP Admin access. Easily change your wp-login URL by adding a secret term to hide your login page from bots and unwanted visitors.

== Description ==
WP Admin Protect adds a lightweight security layer to your WordPress site by "hiding" the default login page. By setting a secret term, only users who know the specific URL can access the login screen.

Any unauthorized attempt to access `wp-login.php` without your secret term will be automatically redirected to a custom URL of your choice, such as your homepage or an external site.

Key Features:
* Simple and lightweight (No Bloat).
* Integrated with WordPress Native UI.
* Prevents brute force attacks by hiding the entry point.
* Customizable redirect URL.

== Installation ==
1. Upload the `wp-admin-protect` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. Navigate to the new "WP Admin Protect" menu in your dashboard to configure your settings.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= How do I use the plugin? =
1. Go to the "WP Admin Protect" menu.
2. Check the 'Enable Protection' option.
3. Enter the 'Redirect URL' where unauthorized users should be sent (e.g., https://google.com).
4. Set your 'Secret Term' (e.g., `mysecretaccess`).
5. Save changes and copy your new login URL: `yoursite.com/wp-login.php?mysecretaccess`.

= What if I forget my secret term? =
You can disable the plugin by renaming its folder via FTP or File Manager, which will restore the default `wp-login.php` access.
