Restrict Access to the Administrative Interface

In your .htaccess file, after the lines:
	—
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteBase /
	—
	Add this:
	—
	<Files adminpage.php>
	order deny,allow
	deny from all
	allow from <YOUR IP>
	</Files>
	—
	An Example using the IP address I showed earlier:
	—
	<Files adminpage.php>
	order deny,allow
	deny from all
	allow from 198.168.1.39
	</Files>
	—
	UPDATE

	I have noticed that some of the Spam bots will try to POST directly to xmlrpc.php. The way to combat this is to add it to the same FILES directive above:
	—
	<Files adminpage\.php \| xmlrpc\.php>
	order deny,allow
	deny from all
	allow from 198.168.1.39
	</Files>
