Joomla Frontend Login Control Plugin

Joomla system plugin that lets site owners control or disable unused frontend login and registration entry points.

This helps:

• Reduce brute-force exposure by limiting public login URLs.
• Avoid confusing non-admin users with unused login/registration links.
• Keep legacy frontend login paths under control on sites that use backend-only access.

Compatibility: Joomla 4.x and Joomla 5.x

Structure

Source code lives in:

plg_system_loginremover/

You can place this folder under plugins/system/ in a Joomla installation for development.

Key files:

• plg_system_loginremover/loginremover.xml – plugin manifest
• plg_system_loginremover/services/provider.php – service provider (Joomla 4+)
• plg_system_loginremover/src/Extension/LoginRemover.php – main plugin class
• plg_system_loginremover/language/en-GB/*.ini – language strings
