Easy Hide Login

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 · 50% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   My site was getting plagued with DoS attacks and this plugin stopped them dead in their tracks. Simple to install and setup – a massive thank you to the developers.

   Great plugin for preventing unwanted people from trying to log in. Just remember that if you have any dynamically generated links to your site admin on the front end of your website you will have to remove them because they will be updated to point to the new URL. Removing the links can usually be done via your site admin in the Appearance section where you can customize your theme, unless you are old school and have it coded into your sidebar.php file. In that case you would have to edit that file manually. Either way it’s not difficult to do and very important. Otherwise you will be giving out your new login URL, which defeats the purpose of the plugin. I’m happy to say that I posted on the support forum and got a speedy reply.

   Great plugin, too bad that the Pro is so expensive.

   There are numerous reports of a 404 error after login because of the admin email verification screen that this plugin interferes with. The developer is not fixing this error, not addressing the support requests. The error can be bypassed by adding a line to the functions.php theme file (as someone in the support forum suggested), but this plugin doesn’t deserve more than 3 starts until this is fixed.

   I’ve been using this for a few months on my site, and it works exactly as promised. Just make sure you don’t lose your custom slug!

   This plugin did not inform me there must be a slash added to the secret login. I whole evening was wasted trying to figure out what was going on and now I’m worried this plugin will lock me out of my site. Awful.

   Works as described but uses a “?” instead of a conventional “/” so takes some getting used to. Still not used to this unusual convention, so getting a lot of 404’s not found when I use / instead of ?
