Hi there,

I am a bit confused about securing my WordPress blog.
I see that the best option is to remain the wp-admin folder to something unique which I would only know. So that no one can access my blog login screen by typing http://domainname.com/wp-admin
But then this URL is also seen when someone views the jpegs uploaded on the blog.

So i was thinking is there a way that I can block the wp-admin or wp-login page with a password dialog box. Like if some enter or tries to access the login area that are promoted with a password dialog box and then the blog login screen is displayed.

Or should I just rename the folder and change the path of my uploads folder?

Please suggest.

Regards,
Pratik

Images uploaded to a Wordpress blog are loaded under wp-content not wp-admin. It should not affect images. You can password protect wp-admin in Cpanel and LPCP.

I use the Wordpress Firewall plugin to protect my blog from attack, I got 101 attack warning emails in the last 24 hours, so it obviously works.
