Question:
Is htpasswd safe enough to protect wp-admin?
And do htpasswd work well with WordPress perhaps it will limit the possability for some of the wordpress files to access the files contained in the wp-admin folder also?

so far so good when I changed all the occurences of wp-login.php to some custom name I chosed.. Ofc there can bee bugs in the future so that ‘s why the community of developers really should make it possible to change these 2 things in the confiq file: WP-LOGIN.PHP and wp-admin folder name.. and possibly more security holes I don’t know about. WordPress is getting hacked to mutch, I only have installed ca 7 public installations of wordpress! And still 1 of them got hacked. My friend has also installed circa that amount of installations he got all of them hacked. SO THIS IS CRITICAL FOR THE FUTURE OF WORDPRESS. Spiders shouldn’t find the admin log-in section so easily..

with dynamically I mean that it will remain changed even after updating wordpress..

*bolder=folder

And I saw that this solution isn’t so good cause when surfing to wp-admin you are redirected to wp-login.php so You have to rename that file also.. But I think with grepwin you can change all the instanced where that filename occur also.. I’ll try it..

So TO DO for the developer community A WAY TO EASILY CHANGE THE WP-ADMIN FOLDER AND THE WP-LOGIN.PHP DYNAMICALLY.
