Daily Tip: Get a Pretty Login URL for WordPress
January 27, 2011
You have to admit – the default WordPress login URL is a bit bulky: http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php. Unless you’re completely immersed in WordPress every day, chances are the login URL will be difficult to remember.
Ozh has created a plugin that simplifies the URL to as follows: http://yoursite.com/login. While this can be accomplished by editing the .htaccess file, this plugin utilizes a better way by tapping into the WordPress Rewrite API. Install the Ozh Simpler Login URL and make sure to read his tutorial on how you can create your own rules for rewriting other URLs.
Because this plugin/widget is provided free of charge, I simply ask you to link back to Pressography.com in a post on your blog, or from one of your sites. It doesn't need to be anything fancy - just a note saying that you're using it, and whether or not you like it. However, there is no requirement that you do this, you're free to use the plugin regardless.
