"Redirect users to different locations after logging in and logging out. Define a set of redirect rules for specific users, users with specific roles, users with specific capabilities, and a blanket rule for all other users. Also, set a redirect URL for post-registration. This is all managed in Settings > Login/logout redirects. You can use the syntax [variable]username[/variable] in your URLs so that the system will build a dynamic URL upon each login, replacing that text with the user's username. In addition to username, there is "userslug", "homeurl", "siteurl", "postid-23", "http_referer" and you can also add your own custom URL "variables".

You can add your own code logic before and between any of the plugin's normal redirect checks if needed. See Other Notes / How to Extend for documentation. Some examples include: redirecting the user based on their IP address; and redirect users to a special page on first login. This plugin also includes a function rul_register that acts the same as the wp_register function you see in templates (typically producing the Register or Site Admin links in the sidebar), except that it will return the custom defined admin address. rul_register takes three parameters: the "before" code (by default ""), the "after" code (by d"

There are different ways to customize the login page in WordPress. I use a free plugin - Custom Login Customizer to add some creativity to the login screen.

Protecting your login page cannot be accomplished by any one specific technique, but there are certainly steps you can take to make any attacks far less likely to succeed. Your site's login page is certainly one of the more vulnerable pages on your website, so let's get started on making your WordPress site's login page a little bit more secure.

"In this article, I'll show you in a few short steps how to get started with modifying the login screen so that users experience a customized, branded look and feel.

"Redirects to the page you were reading just before logging in. Redirects to the homepage when you log out. Sky Login Redirect redirects users to the page they were reading just before logging in. In case that page is not defined, users are redirected to the homepage."

"WP-Members™ is a plugin to make your WordPress® blog a membership driven site. Perfect for newsletters, premium content sites, and more! The plugin restricts selected WordPress® content to be viewable by registered site members. Unlike other registration plugins and WordPress® itself, WP-Members™ puts the registration process inline with your content (and thus your branded theme) instead of the native WP login page. WP-Members™ works "out-of-the-box" with no modifications to your theme, but it is scalable for users that want to customize the look and feel, or want to restrict only some content. It is a great tool for sites offering premium content to subscribers, and is adaptable to a variety of applications."
