  2. The easiest way would probably be to create a .htaccess file in your webroot directory.

    Afterwards write this into it:

    Redirect /wp-admin http://www.example.com/custom

    Quite self explanatory. Redirect from first link /wp-admin to second link http://www.example.com/custom

    Another way would probably be to use wordpress wp_redirect() function, something like this:

    wp_redirect('http://example.com/custom', $status );

  3. Use following code in your functions.php file to redirect to another URL.

    function redirect_login_page(){

 // Store for checking if this page equals wp-login.php
 $page_viewed = basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

 // Where we want them to go
 $login_page  = http://example.com/custom; //Write your site URL here.
 // Two things happen here, we make sure we are on the login page
 // and we also make sure that the request isn't coming from a form
 // this ensures that our scripts & users can still log in and out.
 if( $page_viewed == "wp-login.php" && $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET') {

 // And away they go...
  wp_redirect($login_page);
  exit();

 }
}

add_action('init','redirect_login_page');
