ITMedia HideAdmin
Introduction
ITMedia HideAdmin is a plugin for Joomla 4, 5, and 6 that hides the default administrator URL and replaces it with a custom URL of your choice.
How does it work?
In the plugin settings, you can choose between two security levels.
Access key – enter your own access key, for example mykey, and you will then be able to access the administrator area via /administrator?mykey.
Access key + key value – enter not only the access key but also a key value, and you will then be able to access the administrator area via /administrator?mykey=value.
Redirect settings
The ITMedia HideAdmin extension also lets you choose what action should happen if a user enters an incorrect admin URL. You can choose from three options:
404 Not Found – the user will see the browser’s message indicating that the requested URL does not exist.
403 Forbidden – the user will see a 403 error, meaning they are not authorized to access the given URL.
Redirect to the website homepage – the user will be redirected to your site’s homepage.
