Protect Your WordPress Admin User with FakeAdmin<\/h3>\n\n

Have you ever published a post or page on WordPress<\/em> from your admin account without realizing that you are exposing your admin user to the public? \ud83d\ude48 It is a common mistake as well as frustrating, especially if your blog is personal and you are the administrator<\/strong> and blog writer.<\/p>\n\n

Do not care anymore! \ud83e\udd17 With FakeAdmin<\/strong> you can prevent your admin user from being publicly exposed.<\/p>\n\n

How does it work?<\/h3>\n\n

The plugin allows you to create a \"ghost\"<\/em> user that looks like your admin user, but without the ability to create or edit anything. Once the FakeAdmin<\/strong> user is created, as an administrator, you can work on your WordPress<\/em> site without worrying about exposing your admin user to the public. Everything you create or edit will be attributed to the user FakeAdmin<\/strong> and the security of your site will not be compromised.<\/p>\n\n

It's a simple and effective solution! Now you can work on your site with peace of mind knowing that you are protecting you.<\/p>\n\n
