Wordfence traffic view – appears that bots are hitting the custom admin urls

    When I look at the Wordfence traffic view, it shows bots trying to hit the custom named login pages I just created. Is that because Wordfence “sees” the rewrite and shows the custom urls in the feed instead? When I disable the plugin, it shows the bots visiting wp-login.php again, where it previous had the custom URL.

    I want to make sure that somehow the custom URLs aren’t being seen and visited.

    Thanks for your feedback.
    A plugin (possible Wordfence) or maybe your theme reveal the custom login somwhere, can you check on that? Also the feed?
    If you can send your site url i can check it out too.

    Thanks

    I think it was Wordfence just displaying the hidden/custom URL. I changed the admin URLs a few times but if I look at older traffic, they all show whatever the latest custom URL is, which means Wordfence is just displaying wp-login.php as whatever the current URL is, but WP Hide is working as normal. So I think this is a Wordfence issue, and really more of an annoyance since things are working fine.

    Thanks for a great plugin.

    i noticed my custom admin urls cal be seen when the user views the page source.
