The MainWP Clean and Lock Extension provides several functionalities to enhance the security and control of your MainWP Dashboard site:
1. 301 Redirect
- Purpose: Make your dashboard front page inaccessible to everyone except you.
- Function: Set a redirect URL; all hits on non-wp-admin pages will redirect to this URL, effectively hiding your dashboard site from general visibility.
2. Dashboard Lock Down
- Purpose: Control access to your MainWP Dashboard.
- Features:
- Limit Access: Restrict access to wp-admin pages and wp-login.php to specific IP addresses.
- IP Whitelisting: Add specific IP addresses to allow access; useful if accessing the dashboard from multiple locations.
- Secondary Login and Password: Set a secondary login and password for wp-admin pages and wp-login.php, providing additional protection, especially if you have a dynamic IP.
Benefits:
- Streamlined Security: Remove unwanted sections from the dashboard, limit access, and control visibility without directly editing the .htaccess file.
- Enhanced Privacy: Make your MainWP Dashboard less visible and restrict access to authorized IP addresses, ensuring that only approved users can access sensitive areas.
This Extension provides a comprehensive suite of security features, ensuring that your MainWP Dashboard remains secure and accessible only to authorized individuals, effectively reducing its visibility to potential threats or unauthorized users.
