 * Hi there guys,
 * I’m little bit curious about this.
    How I change the /wp-admin/ directory to 
   personalize directory? Example : from `http://www.example.com/wp-admin/` to `
   http://www.example.com/custom-directory/`
 * From what I searched before and all I’ve got is just renaming login url from /
   wp-admin to another link.
    And even trying to force renaming , and my site is
   broken.
 * If there any way to change it?
    And could you please give the links?
 * Thank you
