Dismiss an unwanted user who tries to access the admin panel
These days my blog is receiving several authentication attempts to access the control panel. Honestly, I don’t know yet if it’s a bot or a human being continually logging in incorrectly, but I’ve found a way to turn off the visitor who tries to access my control panel.
The system is very simple:
- The visitor arrives at the login panel of the blog
- Enter an incorrect username and password
- It is redirected to a page set by you, possibly also to an AdFly link so that you can also pay for its access attempt
How you do it?
Edit your theme’s functions.php file, and add these lines
add_action( 'wp_login_failed', 'redirect_personalizzato_per_login_fallito' ); function redirect_personalizzato_per_login_fallito( $username ) { $referrer = 'http://new_link'; wp_redirect($referrer); exit; }
Instead of http://new_link, insert the link where you want the user to end up after entering the wrong credentials, for example on the purchase page of your book, on an advertising circuit, or on your Amazon referral.
Seeing is believing.
