# Fake Admin - Wordpress plugin

🕵️‍♀️🔌 Wordpress plugin that prevents your admin user from being exposed to the public.

### Protect Your WordPress Admin User with FakeAdmin

Have you ever published a post or page on _WordPress_ from your admin account without realizing that you are exposing your admin user to the public? 🙈 It is a common mistake as well as frustrating, especially if your blog is personal and you are the **administrator** and blog writer.

Do not care anymore! 🤗 With **FakeAdmin** you can prevent your admin user from being publicly exposed.

### How does it work?

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

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

## 🗝 Prerequisites

- A [Wordpress](https://wordpress.org/download/) installation.

## 🔑 Installation

1. Install plugin _(2 ways)_

	+ Via [WordPress repository](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fake-admin).

	+ Manually [Download](https://github.com/pigeonposse/fake-admin/releases) & Upload plugin to the “/wp-content/plugins/” directory.

2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.

#### Enjoy it!

Now you can create any ***post***, ***page*** or ***post-type*** and if your user is admin automatically change post author to "admin fake" user.
