Requires at least: 2.7
Tested up to: 3.3.1

wSecure hides admin URL so that default URL will no longer bring up the admin page. Only people who enter the secret key will be able to access admin area.

== Description ==

Word press has one security problem, any web user can easily know
if the site is created in Word press! by typing the URL to access the
administration area (i.e. www.sitename.com/wp-admin). This allows hackers
to hack the site easily once they crack the id and password for Wordpress.

The solution: The wSecure plugin. wSecure makes it so that "www.yoursite.com/wp-admin" will no longer
bring up the admin page. Instead, wSecure allows you to set your own admin URL using a secret key
(for example: www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/?secret). Only people who enter the secret key will be able to
access your admin area.

<strong>Features:</strong>
The <strong>Basic Version</strong> will hide your administrator URL from public access. This is all most people need.

* Set "Enable" to "yes" in order for wSecure to work.
* In the "Key" field enter the key that will be part of your new administrator URL. For example,
      if you enter "wSecure" into the key field, then the administrator URL will be http://www.yourwebsite/wp-admin/?wSecure.
      Please note that you cannot have a key that is only numbers.
* If you do not enter a key, but enable the wSecure plugin, then the default URL to access the administrator area is /?wSecure
      (http://www.yourwebsite/wp-admin/?wSecure).
* Set the "Redirect Options" field. By default, if someone tries to access you /wp-admin URL without the correct key, they
   will be redirected to the home page of your Wordpress site. You can also set up a "Custom Path" is you would like the user
   to be redirected somewhere else, such as a 404 error page.
* Click on the save button to make changes.
