So, it’s official, I am a WordPress Developer! Today, I finally got around to getting Secure Hidden Login listed on wordpress.org
You can download it here:
Secure Hidden Login For WordPress
Updated:
Creating my first ever WordPress plugin has been very fun. I’ve already had to release a bugfix release (v0.1.1). I’ve also released a second version (v0.2) that added some customization (button colors). I will continue to release and support this plugin with new features and fix any bugs that are found.
Update 2:
I figured that I probably should put another update in this post. I’ve made a lot of changes to the plugin, and it’s now at v 0.5.1 (I skipped v0.4 and had to fix a bug someone found in v0.5). You can change colors and select from multiple different login activation modes now. Check it out!
While it’s not my goal to turn this into a complete and comprehensive security plugin (I’d like to keep it related to invalid login attempts), I will continue to improve it further and further. In time, it may wind up being among the top Security plugins.
Lastly, remember to support my work and donate!
Hi, my name is Dilawer Pirzada and I was the first user who install this plugin on his site but I got stuck when I was deactivating the plugin, I forget to disable the check box where warning were appearing.
But I read that message before when setting up my hidden login page key ctrl/alt + something.
But actually the key also not working now… What to do now? as my pages are unable to load (wp-admin or wp-login.php) if you have Any Idea please reply this comment.
Which codes I have to delete from Htaccess file …. Please tell me as I’m unable to login to my wordpress account.
Check the the .htaccess file (in root directory and wp-admin) for a section that starts with # BEGIN Secure Login and ends with # END Secure Login. That is the section to delete.
Otherwise, you can just make a standard link to the location of wp-login.php in a non WordPress HTML file on your own domain/site, and just click the link.
I’ll strongly say that the plugin is much useful, but the usage is disturbing me … How to use?
Look why did I deactivate the plugin… because I don’t know how exactly the plugin works?
Let me declare:
(I check box) Hidden (Ctrl/Alt+Trigger Login Bar Character Setup Below), and setup a trigger login character and also (check this box) = Warning: Be sure to disable this option when uninstalling the plugin.
Now what, when I logged out of my wordpress site how to get back to dashboard now, suppose if I press ctrl/alt + something.. It doesn’t work.
For this what should i do?
Actually, it’s now very useful for me until I know the structure for usage.
If you leave it on default, selecting Hidden and blocking wp-login.php and wp-admin, you should be able to hit Ctrl+L and a bar at the top with boxes for Username and Password will show up. Just like in the main banner on the wordpress.org plugin page. Just enter your Username and Password and hit ‘Login’. I’m not sure how that’s not clear.
Obviously, you need to be careful and not use a character that would cause a conflict. For example, Ctrl+C (copy) or Ctrl+V (paste) may cause a conflict.

Need help – I get this message on site “Warning: array_key_exists() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in /home/content/66/9597766/html/wp-content/plugins/secure-hidden-login/securehiddenlogin.php on line 37″ thanks
Can you login into your wp-admin and save Settings for the plugin? That might be the issue.
Just to follow up on this, this has been corrected within the code now. It won’t be labeled as a new version, as my previous solution to just save the settings should work. However, if you’d like to fix the code, just need to find the ‘array_key_exists’ line and add a @ before the word array
Hi,
I keep getting an error “Error: Can’t read your .htaccess file (make sure the file exists)”. I couldn’t see the .htaccess file anywhere so I created one in the root wp directory. What am I doing wrong? The lock icon is displayed on all my pages, but I can’t seem to modify or customize this plug-in nor deactivate it for deletion because of this error. I’m on WP ver 3.4.2. What am I doing wrong?
I just uploaded v0.5.1 which will check to make sure the .htaccess file exists where I think it should. If it does not find it, it does not allow you to enable or disable the wp-login.php, but instead tells you where the .htaccess file should be.
Try out this version.
