### How to Change Your WordPress Login URL for Better Security with Upflare
In today’s digital landscape, securing your WordPress site is more important than ever. One of the most effective ways to enhance your site’s protection is by changing the login URL. With most cyber-attacks targeting sites through default login forms like `wp-login.php`, Upflare offers simple and effective solutions to boost your security and keep your site safe.
#### Why Changing Your Login URL is Essential
1. **Protection Against Automated Attacks**: Most attacks involve scanning the default login URL to find access points. Changing this makes it harder for attackers to reach your login form.
2. **Enhanced Security**: With Upflare, you can strengthen your security by making it more challenging for hackers to access your site.
3. **Greater Control**: Changing the login URL gives you increased control over who can access your admin area.

“`php
add_action(‘init’, ‘custom_login_url’);
function custom_login_url() {
if (strpos($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], ‘wp-login.php’) !== false) {
wp_redirect(home_url(‘/your-new-login-url’));
