Security: Hide The WordPress Login and Admin Pages (wp-login.php)
There are couple of way this can happen. If you have private pages/posts, they will link to the login page. Or if you have any plugin that somehow exposes the login page, or forwards to the login page. Every site is different, but if you probably have something, somewhere that’s exposing the URL somehow either explicitly, or through a redirect.

Hope this helps.

One Less Thing For You To Do: Monitor Your WordPress Core Files For Hacks!
Hi Terry,

Glad you like the new v7 interface.

The exclusions you mention for that scanner used to be in place but they got “lost” in the transition to v7. We’ve reinstated these and those filed will be ignored in the scan from v7.1 onwards.

Shield should be ignoring inactive themes and it already detects child/parent themes. Have a check to make sure your child-parent setup is exactly as you think it is. We’ve seen several cases where people thought it was setup as a child-parent, but it wasn’t…

Thanks!
Paul.

Part 3: WordPress Firewall – Shield Security Plugin for WordPress
Hi George,

Shield does have this option – you’ll find it under the IP Manager module. It is a Pro-only feature so you’ll need to upgrade to access it. But at $12/year, it’s not a lot… and you get all the other Pro extras too 🙂

Thanks,
Paul.
