    @Barnanby,

    Here comes the noob! If not using stackscripts, where would this have to go to take effect? Thanks in advance.

    It goes in the nginx configuration file just before the final }

    /usr/local/nginx/sites-available/domainname.com

    One other note. If your wp-admin/ dir is not at the top-level of your htdocs. For example, let’s say it’s in /wp/wp-admin, then you’ll need to ditch the ^s at the start of the string. So for example, the last 4 lines would look like:

    if ($remote_addr != "12.34.56.78") {

    rewrite /wp-admin/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;

    rewrite /wp-login.php(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last;

    }

    Cheers and thx @Barnaby
