About this plugin

Dotsquares Custom Login URL & Security Suite helps secure your WordPress site by allowing you to change the default login URL and apply additional security layers โ€” all from one beautifully designed dashboard.

๐Ÿ”‘ Login Security

  • Custom login slug โ€” redirect wp-login.php to your own secret URL
  • Optionally hide wp-login.php (returns 404 for guests)
  • Optionally block wp-admin for non-logged-in users
  • Brute force protection with configurable lockout thresholds
  • Login honeypot trap (hidden field that catches bots)
  • Two-Factor Authentication (TOTP โ€” works with Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.)
  • Weak username detection (blocks “admin”, “root”, “test”, etc.)
  • Force logout after inactivity (configurable timeout)
  • Manual approval for new user registrations
  • Prevent display name from matching username

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Firewall

  • Disable XML-RPC (common attack vector)
  • Block bad bots and fake user agents (40+ known bots)
  • Block POST requests with empty User-Agent headers
  • Rate limiting per IP address
  • IP blacklist and whitelist (supports CIDR ranges)
  • Geo-blocking by country code
  • Restrict REST API for non-logged-in users
  • Prevent user enumeration via ?author= scans

๐Ÿ” Malware & File Scanner

  • Deep scan of WordPress core, plugins, themes and uploads
  • 40+ malware signature patterns (PHP shells, backdoors, crypto miners, pharma hacks, SEO spam injections)
  • Detects known web shells by filename (c99, r57, WSO, b374k, adminer, etc.)
  • WordPress core file integrity check (compares against official api.wordpress.org checksums)
  • Detects PHP files hidden inside the uploads folder
  • Suspicious code pattern detection (eval, exec, base64_decode combos, etc.)
  • File change detection using MD5 hash baseline
  • File permission scanner (755/644 standards)
  • .htaccess security rules generator

๐Ÿ‘ฅ User & Session Management

  • View and kill active user sessions
  • Session tracking with IP and user-agent logging
  • Manual user approval workflow

๐Ÿ“Š Monitoring & Logs

  • Security event log (login, logout, failed attempts, plugin/theme changes)
  • IP blocking log with unblock controls
  • Real-time security score (Aโ€“F grade with per-check breakdown)

โš™๏ธ Other Features

  • Maintenance mode with custom message
  • Database backup download
  • Email alerts for security events
  • Beautiful admin dashboard with quick-toggle switches

Important

Hardening actions such as DB prefix change and wp-content rename are advanced operations.
Always run these features on a staging environment and ensure you have a full backup before applying them on production.
