Admin login URL Change

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 45% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 3K+ in roughly 124 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Reviewers say it's lightweight and works where other plugins didn't, with one asking about a 404 landing page after logging in through the custom URL.

   This plugin works exactly as expected and is no-frills, lightweight, and makes other robust competitor plugins used for this purpose look clunky. Great job! Thanks!

   I have installed this plugin on several websites and it always works with no issues. The only thing that I don’t see right is that after login with the custom url it shows a 404 page message (always on every installation I have made); I can navigate the WordPress admin/backend using the top menu., but it should go to the main dashboard page by default. Is there a way to fix/solve it ? Thank you in advanced

   Thanks for solving this with a usable and functional plugin. I tested more than a few plugins and tried creating my own. Could not quite get it to work. This plugin works perfectly. Any of the built in redirects fail with a proper 404 (/dashboard, /login, /admin, /wp-admin, etc). This plugin does not create files or the .htaccess file. Just enter a new slug, done.
