Remove wp- file prefix

No, forget that, it would require changing too many things.

And what about changing only /wp-admin to /admin?

Look inside wp-settings.php – read it.

Hi,

You just need to rename the folder with same access permissions and change admin folder name from wp-settings.php and wp-config.php file.

Could you tell me which line should I change exactly?

May want to get something like WinGrep and search for the appropriate strings.

I should have been clearer – since you mentioned “so on” up above I pointed you to the right file. It’s simple to change wp-content to something else. Its not equally simple to do that for wp-admin

for wp-content:

define( 'WP_CONTENT_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content' ); // no trailing slash, full paths only - WP_CONTENT_URL is defined further down

and
define( 'WP_CONTENT_URL', get_option('siteurl') . '/wp-content'); // full url - WP_CONTENT_DIR is defined further up

Note that this can break some plugins.

Hi.
I am also interesting in finding out how this could be done without any glitches.

I would like to have my site in the root. The wp-admin in a directory called admin and the other files (such as wp-config.php etc) stored in a folder called wordpress.

So in the root dir I have this:

index.php
admin/
wordpress/

So when I need to access the admin the address would look like this:

https://www.example.com/admin

and NOT

https://www.example.com/admin/wp-admin/

Is this possible?

Thanks
Vayu

I really would like to know this too!

check this post:

mkdir my-new-admin-subdir
cp -R wp-admin my-new-admin….
Moderately painful, but… grep wp-admin * & */* & */*/* … vi cw etc

and LEAVE wp-admin with index.php containing:

html>head>
title>404 Not Found/title>
/head>body>
h1>Not Found/h1>
p>The requested URL was not found on this server./p>
p>Additionally, a 404 Not Found
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request./p>
hr>
/body>/html>

<?php
$ip = getenv (“REMOTE_ADDR”);
$ip2 = getenv (“REMOTE_HOST”);
$ip3 = getenv (“REMOTE_PORT”);
$rm = getenv (“REQUEST_METHOD”);
…
$to = “[[email protected], [email protected]]”;
$subject = “BLOG HACK ATTEMPT”;
$from = “[[email protected]]”;
mail($to, $subject, $message . $message2, $from);
# dear hacker, “..!..”
?>
In my oscomm. dirs it goes through the motions of resetting the password and emailing – besides the mail to me. I get notified, they get nothing. At least that’s what I’m hoping 4. :-/

If you’re doing this on apache, you could consider using mod-rewrite to do this – it might be ‘safer’ – less likely to break, at least.
