    Why use a plugin and waste performance if you can simple create a redirect?

    While I agree that plugins are probably easier to initially setup, hard coding a redirect in the .htaccess file will probably be better overall in this case. Too many plugins can slow down your blog and you also have to keep the plugin up to date, so a small tweak like this shouldn’t need one in my opinion. Plus, with so many bloggers looking to optimize SEO and speed, they’ll already have a .htaccess file or make great use of one later.

    Just add this line to your .htaccess file:
    Redirect 301 /login http://www.mysite.com/wp-login.php
    There are 3 spaces total. The first directory should be relative to your root directory, NOT the full URL. The second part should be the full URL.

    If you don’t have a .htaccess file in your root directory, open up Notepad (or your favorite text editor [not MS Word]), go to Save As, name it “.htaccess“, and set the Save As Type to “All Files”.
