I keep getting locked out of my own website admin functionality due to repeated hack login attempts, either by bots or individuals. As a result I get an e-mailed “BPS Login Security Alert” virtually every hour. It is VERY irritating and is frustrating the administration of my website!
How can I perhaps hide the login page screen from the public / bots, so that only I can see it, or do you have another solution?
Please assist urgently.
Thanks,
Antony

At the moment every day it is having multiple login attamepts from all over the planet.
I want to know, when I delete WP, delete the DB and start the site completely fresh, with a new theme and manually readding the content.
Has the URL been added to some sort of a list and will it continue to get these hack attempts or once it is clean and new, will they stop?
Thanks

There are a couple more but this should give an idea of what’s happening.
I was wondering if anyone had a comment or suggestion about these. Could they be hack attempts or something else, and should I take some kind of precautions.
Any feedback is appreciated.
