Güvenlik nedeniyle WordPress yönetici alanınıza erişimi kısıtlamak mı istiyorsunuz?
Küçük bir ekibiniz varsa, erişimi yalnızca ekip üyeleri tarafından kullanılan IP adresleriyle kısıtlamak iyi bir çözümdür.
Bu makalede, WordPress yönetici erişimini IP adresine göre nasıl kısıtlayacağınızı adım adım göstereceğiz.
WordPress Yönetici Erişimini IP Adresine Göre Neden Kısıtlayalım?
Eğer bir WordPress web sitesi işletiyorsanız, web sitenizin güvenliğini ciddiye almanız gerekir. WordPress çekirdek yazılımı çok güvenli olsa da, kendinizi bilgisayar korsanlarından ve kaba kuvvet saldırılarından korumak için yapabileceğiniz daha fazla şey var.
Bilgisayar korsanları web sitenizi çökertebilir, gelirinize ve itibarınıza zarar verebilir. Veri çalabilir, hatta web sitenizin ziyaretçilerine kötü amaçlı yazılım dağıtabilir ve alan adınızın Google ve diğerleri tarafından kara listeye alınmasına neden olabilirler.
Bilgisayar korsanlarını engellemenin ve WordPress güvenliğini artırmanın akıllıca bir yolu, WordPress yönetici alanınızı yetkisiz erişime karşı korumaktır.
Yönetici alanına yalnızca sizin veya birkaç güvenilir kullanıcının erişmesi gerekiyorsa, bunu yapmanın iyi bir yolu wp-admin ve WordPress giriş sayfasına erişimi ekibinizin IP adresleriyle sınırlamaktır.
Her ekip üyesi, her konum için belirli bir IP adresi kullanarak WordPress sitenize bağlanacaktır. Diğer tüm IP adreslerine erişimi engellerseniz, bir bilgisayar korsanı kullanıcı adınızı ve şifrenizi öğrenmiş olsa bile web sitenize erişemez.
Bunun yerine, hata mesajını göreceklerdir: ‘Yasak. Bu kaynağa erişim izniniz yok.
WordPress yönetici erişimini IP adresine göre nasıl kısıtlayacağımıza bir göz atalım.
WordPress Yönetici Erişimini IP Adresine Göre Kısıtlama
Yapmanız gereken ilk şey, WordPress web sitenizde oturum açması gereken herkes tarafından kullanılan IP adreslerinin bir listesini yapmaktır. Birisi birkaç konumdan çalışıyorsa, her biri için IP adresini toplamanız gerekecektir.
SupportAlly gibi bir siteyi ziyaret ederek IP adreslerini öğrenebilirler.
Listenizi yaptıktan sonra, web sitenizdeki bir dosyayı düzenlemeniz gerekecektir. Bir FTP istemcisi veya barındırma sağlayıcınızın dosya yöneticisi uygulamasını kullanmanız gerekecektir. Daha önce FTP kullanmadıysanız, WordPress’e dosya yüklemek için FTP’nin nasıl kullanılacağına ilişkin kılavuzumuza göz atmak isteyebilirsiniz.
Web sitenizin /wp-admin/ klasörüne gitmek için yazılımı kullanmanız gerekecektir. Oraya gittiğinizde .htaccess dosyasını aramalısınız. Bu gizli bir dosyadır, bu nedenle göremiyorsanız, yazılımınızda gizli dosyaları göster seçeneğini etkinleştirmeniz gerekebilir.
Bu dosya klasörde mevcut değilse, yeni bir dosya oluşturmalı ve /wp-admin/ klasörünüze .htaccess adıyla kaydetmelisiniz.
Uyarı: Kök .htaccess dosyanızı düzenlemeyin, aksi takdirde ziyaretçileri web sitenizin ön ucundan kilitlemiş olursunuz! wp-admin/.htaccess dosyasını düzenlediğinizden emin olun.
Öncelikle dosyanın bir kopyasını yedek olarak bilgisayarınıza indirmelisiniz. Bunu yaptıktan sonra, .htaccess dosyasını düzenlemeniz ve aşağıdaki kodu yapıştırmanız gerekecektir:
AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "WordPress Admin Access Control"
AuthType Basic
<LIMIT GET>
order deny,allow
deny from all
# whitelist Syed's IP address
allow from xx.xx.xx.xxx
# whitelist David's IP address
allow from xx.xx.xx.xxx
# whitelist Amanda's IP address
allow from xx.xx.xx.xxx
# whitelist Muhammad's IP address
allow from xx.xx.xx.xxx
# whitelist Work IP address
allow from xx.xx.xx.xxx
</LIMIT>
Devam edin ve dosyayı kendi ekip üyelerinizin adlarıyla eşleşecek şekilde düzenleyin ve ardından xx.xx.xx.xxx yazan yerleri değiştirmek için daha önce topladığınız IP adreslerini yapıştırın.
Dosyayı kaydettiğinizde, yalnızca bu IP adresleri WordPress yöneticisine erişebilecektir.
IP adresiniz değişirse veya web sitenize yeni bir konumdan erişmeye çalışırsanız, WordPress yönetici alanınızdan kilitleneceğinizi unutmayın. Yeni IP adresinizi /wp-admin/.htaccess dosyasına eklemeniz gerekecektir.

My wp-admin folder doesn’t contain an .htaccess file. What am I missing.
WPBeginner Support says
You would need to have your FTP or file manager show hidden files if you do not see it.

How to find my ip address for hiding wp-admin folder?
WPBeginner Support says
There are multiple methods to find your IP, one of the simple ones would be to use a site like supportally.com

You have to enable
module authz_groupfile
“sudo a2enmod authz_groupfile”
and restart apache

Not working for me. Code restricting admin to get access even I put the ip in a whitelist.
Rostyslav says
After this line, you must put a condition for permission to allow php files to prevent conflicts:
allow from all
Solace says
I tried the .htaccess password protection method.
It works, but I tried it on a site with Woocommerce, but then my customers weren’t able to log in.
Just saying that because it seems no one has mentioned that it doesn’t work with sites that need customers to log in !
Miguel says
Hello, thank you for the tutorial. Unfortunately, I have not been able to make this .htaccess file to work correctly because it is denying access to the only IP address I included, my own… I am certain I copied your code exactly and I typed my IP correctly. The .htaccess file was saved under: /wp-admin/.htaccess
Am I missing something? Thanks
Miguel says
I must add that I am working on a localhost installation.
WPBeginner Support says
Hi Miguel,
Instead of your IP address, try adding 127.0.0.1
That’s your localhost IP address. If adding the IP alone doesn’t work, then add the following line before the above code:
Require localYönetici

how to block the access to wp admin???
Emaan Ali says
Hi Guys,
I have blocked the wp-admin with .htaccess as mentioned in this article. But i am having one problem that my admin-ajax file is also being restricted on public site.
My wordpress theme uses much of admin ajax functionality and that I have put the IP limitation access on wp-admin folder so its not accessible for all IP’s.
Does anyone find the solution for this ? If so please share .
Thanks in advance

Len says
Hi, This seems really a helpful one. Maybe you could help me. Instead of whitelisting an IP can we allow access for specific countries in .htaccess file? Hoping you can help me. Thank you very much.
Bridget says
Thanks! This was the only solution that worked for me after trying so many
Scotty says
Hi, This does work. I checked and am “forbidden” to login on any other computer. I can’t even see the login panel. However, I am still getting about 24 failed log in attempts per day from all different IP addresses. Any ideas how there getting around this? It’s some kind of brute force attack? Thanks, Scott.
WPBeginner Support says
Yes quite possibly. Make sure your .htaccess password is a difficult one.
Yönetici
Scotty says
Thanks. Your site has been very helpful. If you have moment maybe you could answer one more question. I followed your tutorials — and they worked. I blocked access to my admin folder with htaccess and added a password on top of that. I tested and even if people were to break the password, which they haven’t, they wouldn’t have access to the folder from any IP address except mine. However, I’m still getting about 12 failed logins per day. Any ideas what is happening and where to go to fix it? I was hacked once, but cleared the files out of my uploads folder.

And how to allow access to only wordpress adminitrator ?What code i will write without any ip ? I just need to know a generic function that get admin related info.Becuse i have to restrict my plugin uploads from other user.And Whoever using this plugin i have to get its admin info to restrict contents from other and allow only to admin of website.
Praveen says
Many Many thanks sir, I have test this on my localhost system it works very well.
Kim says
I tried this (after previously successfully password protecting my wp-admin directory and fixing the redirect error per your other article), but then I get a pop-up asking for a user name and password for the “WordPress Admin Access Control”. What user name and password am I supposed to be using for this new pop-up? Neither the wordpress admin logon nor the wp-admin directory logon work for it.
Thanks!
Kim says
Oh, I believe I figured out the problem; seems to work as long as I make sure to have the added code at the very beginning.
Jordyn says
I have a big problem
I did what you said about creating the .htaccess and putting in the code snippet. It didn’t work so I deleted the .htaccess file and now I can’t login to my dashboard! It’s just a white screen
Please help!!!
Thanks
Editorial Staff says
That’s a fairly unlikely outcome. You deleted the .htaccess file in your /wp-admin/ folder correct?
Yönetici
Jordyn says
All I did was create the file in my wp-admin folder and when it didn’t work I deleted it from the wp-admin folder. I’m not sure what happened but, after a crazy rabbit trail and many shots in the dark, I was able to correct the problem by adding to the top of my login.php file. I still don’t know what went wrong or why what I did fixed it…. but at least its fixed. I may try this again when I’m feeling brave.
Jordyn says
it erased the code snippet
it was supposed to say “…by adding “” to the top…”
Jordyn says
less than sign ? ob_start(); ? greater than sign
Peter says
First I did not manage to make your password protect work
https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-password-protect-your-wordpress-admin-wp-admin-directory
at least this one works.
It is interesting, that I wp-admin page gets into an infinite redirect when I enter a wrong IP address, not my one.
The infinite redirect seems to be hence an authorization problem.
Raheem Khan says
Hi WPB, I don’t think it will be working in Pakistan because every time we reset or turn of our DSL modem so the IP address automatically changes. if any other tip please reply me.
Thanks

hi, how to make .htaccess with dynamic ip (non static ip)
my ip is always change xxx.xxx.xxx.12 xxx.xxx.xxx.453 xxx.xxx.xxx.076
please help…
Editorial Staff says
Then this solution is not for you.
Yönetici
Joe says
You can harden your wordpress install via .htaccess whitelisting even if you have a dynamic IP address. You can whitelist a range of IP addresses using a /24 or /16 range. While this allows more access than if you always knew the IP you wanted to allow, it still prohibits access from almost the entire internet.
Just add /24 to the end of the allow from line to allow the whole class C subnet (256 IPs), or add /16 to allow the whole 65,536 range. i.e.
allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.0/24
will allow access to IP addresses from xxx.xxx.xxx.0 – xxx.xxx.xxx.255. and
allow from xxx.xxx.0.0/16
will allow access from IP addresses from xxx.xxx.0.0 – xxx.xxx.255.255
Kyle says
You say not to do the root site’s .htaccess file…why is that? Because you just want to limit access to the /wp-admin folder?
So…if I wanted to have a WordPress site hosted externally but used as an internal company resource so that only people using IPs of our company could access it…if I edited the root folder’s .htaccess folder to only allow IPs from our domain…that would work the same way your /wp-admin fix is, but for the entire site, correct?
Editorial Staff says
Yes Kyle, the reason why we said do not put this code in the root file because then it will limit your site access to only these IP as well. But if you are trying to make a site just for your company’s staff can access it only from work, then you would want to put the .htaccess file in the root folder.
Yönetici
Kyle says
Fantastic…thank you for the quick reply!
Bill says
Why just limit GETs? You might want to limit POSTs as well!
Darrin says
Nice tip. I will be doing this.
Alim Bolar says
Can I limit access based on other criterias? Like I need only my laptop to access a particular folder.. I could access it from anywhere so it would be difficult to specify an IP as my internet access would be based on DHCP. Is there a unique identifier for every machine or something like that that can be used as a criteria?
