Custom Login URL

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 · 100% 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.

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.

   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.

   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.

   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 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/
