## Description

This plugin will hide WordPress Admin (/wp-admin/) when a user isn’t logged in. 
If a user isn’t logged in and they attempt to access WP Admin directly, they will
be unable to and it will return a 404. It can also rename the login URL.

Also, you can add HTTP authentication directly from WP Admin and add custom username/
password combinations for the HTTP auth or use the WordPress credentials.

This doesn’t touch any .htaccess files or change the WordPress core files. All the
CSS/Images under /wp-admin/ are still accessible, just not the .php ones.

If you enable HTTP authentication, it will add HTTP authentication to the PHP files
in /wp-admin/.

## Installation

 1. Upload `/lockdown-wp-admin/` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activez-la via le menu Extensions dans l’admin WordPress
 3. Navigate to the « Lockdown WP » menu

## FAQ

  Installation Instructions

 1. Upload `/lockdown-wp-admin/` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activez-la via le menu Extensions dans l’admin WordPress
 3. Navigate to the « Lockdown WP » menu

  How can we add files to the white list to hide from the public eye? We want to
have AJAX and use a custom file, but we can’t because it hides it from the public.

You can add a file using the ‘no_check_files’ filter. Use this:

    ```
            function add_my_cool_filter($data)
            {
                // You have to accept the $data argument or else it will cause a system meltdown ;)
                $data[] = 'my-file-name.php';   //  JUST the file name.
                return $data;
            }
            add_filter('no_check_files', 'add_my_cool_filter');
    ```

Simple.

  How can I get back in if Lockdown WP Admin locked me out?

You can create a .txt file named ‘disable_auth.txt’ in your `wp-content/plugins/
lockdown-wp-admin/` folder (The file location would be `/wp-content/plugins/lockdown-
wp-admin/disable_auth.txt`). We don’t care about the content but that will disable
the HTTP Auth and whatever was locking you out of your site.

Still working perfectly in the current version of wordpress. It stops all those 
annoying bot attacks that any wordpress site gets. Still recommended.

### 󠀁[Update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-429/)󠁿

 [Rik0399](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rik0399/) 7 octobre 2018

I’m posting this because we as ‘users’, sometimes take for granted the efforts of
plugin authors and seem only to comment when we are ‘whining’ or ‘complaining’. 
Mostly because many do not simply follow the install procedures, so seek to blame
the Author. The Problem : All WP users have is security because your site is constantly
under threat. Unless your sitting there watching, one morning you’ll get up and 
your site has been damaged by some malicious idiot! The Plugin : As of : 07-10-18
this gem of a plugin is still working strong with the latest WP version! Whilst 
it has not been updated for a few years, it’s still working and does so very effectively
against potential threats as wouldbe hackers can’t find how to log into your site.
It’s a near impossibility to do so and soon, they give up and choose an easier target.
My Two Cents : So for what it’s worth to the Author, very well done for this and
can only hope they re-visit this plugin to add any additional elements. I would 
certainly make a donation toward it if they were to resume and continue maintaining
it! It’s lightweight, it works…simple as that!

This plugin is simple and easy to setup. I have been using it for two years but 
with the last Wordpress actualisation (4.9.8) it stopped working. I was locked out
and was not able to access to panel administration. I had to delete the plugin. 
What a pity.
