# Change /wp-admin on website using https

 * Is it possible to change the /wp-admin to /customurl to hide the admin login 
   page on a website that uses https protocol. I tried protect your admin plugin,
   it was working fine on my local machine using http protocol. But when i uploaded
   this plugin onto my live website, it redirects me to the login page again and
   again even after entering correct login details. Also using this plugin I am 
   able to access the login page using both /wp-admin and /customurl. Is there an
   alternative plugin that works both with http and https protocol or can this task
   be achieved by writing some code.
 * Thanks,
    Bilal

 * I think you either meant to post this in a specific plugin’s forum, or, you forgot
   to write the plugin name.

 * Hey Peninah,
 * I posted in plugins forum too. I used this plugin protect-wp-admin. Plugin is
   not helping me. So is there any alternative plugin or a code that I can use with
   https protocol.

 * Did you try the iThemes security plugin? I know they have some options for that
   kind of thing–not sure if they cover your exact needs.

 * [@peninah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peninah/) thanks for the suggestion.
   iThemes security plugin solved my problem. Earlier it was not working after the
   release of 5.2 version it started to work.
