1.) Protect Your Website Admin Against Hackers
2.) Modify Login Page Design

== Description ==

If you run a WordPress website, you should absolutely use "protect-wp-admin" to secure it against hackers.

Protect WP-Admin fixes a glaring security hole in the WordPress community: the well-known problem of the admin panel URL.
Everyone knows where the admin panel, and this includes hackers as well.

Protect WP-Admin helps solve this problem by allowing webmasters to customize their admin panel URL and blocking the default links.

After you setup Protect WP-Admin, webmasters will be able to change the "sitename.com/wp-admin" link into something like "sitename.com/custom-string".
All queries for the classic "/wp-admin/" and "wp-login.php" files will be redirected to the homepage, while access to the WP backend will be allowed only for the custom URL.

The plugin also comes with some access filters, allowing webmasters to restrict guest and registered users access to wp-admin, just in case you want some of your editors to log in the classic way.

**NOTE :Back up your database before beginning the activate plugin.**
It is extremely important to back up your database before beginning the activate plugin. If, for some reason, you find it necessary to restore your database from these backups.

* 2.) Not able to login into admin after enable plugin? 

 May be issue can come when you not give proper writable permission on htaccess file OR you have not update permalink settings to SEO friendly url from admin.

Basicaly issues can come only in case when you will use default permalink settings. 
If your permalink will be update to any other option except default then it will be work fine. Anyway Dont' worry, manualy you can add code into your site .htaccess file.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^newadmin/?$ /wp-login.php [QSA,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
