FAQ
-
Will this affect my normal login process?
-
No. Once you reach the login page with the correct parameters, the login process works exactly as before. The plugin only controls who can reach the login page.
-
Can I use custom parameter names?
-
Yes! You can customize both the parameter name and value through the settings page. For example, instead of
?who=admin, you could use?secret=MySecretKey123. -
What if I forget my access parameters?
-
You can still access your settings if you’re already logged in. If you’re logged out and forget your parameters, you may need to disable the plugin temporarily via FTP or file manager.
-
Does this work with other security plugins?
-
Yes, zmadmin is designed to work alongside other security plugins. It provides an additional layer of protection without conflicting with existing security measures.
-
Is this plugin compatible with multisite installations?
-
Yes, the plugin works on multisite installations. However, you’ll need to configure it separately for each site where you want protection.
