Before making any changes, create a full backup of your WordPress site, including the database and files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Create a Child Theme. Skip if you already have.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Follow the steps in the article How to Create a WordPress Child Theme<\/a> to create a child theme for your active WordPress theme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By creating a child theme, you maintain a clean separation between your customizations and the parent theme, making it easier to manage and update your site in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Access Your Child Theme Files<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use an FTP client or your hosting file manager to navigate to the directory of your child theme. This is typically located at wp-content\/themes\/your-child-theme-name\/<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Edit the functions.php File in the Child Theme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Add the following code to the functions.php<\/code> file of your child theme:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\/\/ Change login URL\nfunction custom_login_url() {\n    return home_url('\/your-custom-url<\/mark><\/strong>');\n}\n\nadd_filter('login_headerurl', 'custom_login_url');<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Replace \/your-custom-url<\/code> with your desired custom login URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Save the changes in modified functions.php<\/code> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Edit the .htaccess File<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Edit the .htaccess<\/code> file in the root directory of your WordPress installation. Add the following lines at the beginning of the file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>\n    RewriteEngine On\n    RewriteRule ^your-custom-url<\/mark>\/?$ wp-login.php [L]\n<\/IfModule><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Replace your-custom-url<\/code> with the same custom login URL you specified in the child theme’s functions.php<\/code> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Save the changes in modified .htaccess<\/code> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Test the New Login URL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Visit your custom login URL (e.g., https:\/\/yoursite.com\/your-custom-url<\/code>) to ensure that the new login page loads correctly. Also, test the login\/logout processes, password recovery, and any custom functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Update Permalinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
As a good practice, go to “Settings” > “Permalinks”<\/strong> set post name as permalink in your WordPress admin dashboard and click “Save Changes” to update your site’s permalinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. Clear Cache<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Clear your browser cache and refresh the login page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
