Thread: Securing Wp-Admin via .htaccess

PHP Code:

order deny,allow
allow from a.b.c.d # personal IP here
deny from all 


I was thinking of setting that up as my .htaccess file in my wp-admin area to help protect it. Is this a wise course of action or is there any potential complication?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

It seems to me that your idea should work fine -- if your IP address never changes.

Instead, what about using Apache's Basic HTTP authentication to secure that directory?

There are also a plethora of Wordpress security tools you might consider, such as Login Lockdown.

But in india,Almost all of us have dynamic IP...Is there any other way to secure it?

Yes, Apache's Basic HTTP authentication uses passwords, not IP addresses.
