I’m also interested in this. Any ideas?
What is I replace wp-admin with something else in every wordpress file? I have already done this and testing now. Everything works fine so far…
This has been debated many times. While I belong to the camp that believes security through obscurity is a good thing and I realize the majority of hacks are automated scripts you’re probably better off simply applying .htpasswd and .htaccess protection to the wp-admin directory.
I could guess the new name of your wp-admin directory in seconds.
Hi Levani01 – I don’t think that’s a wise approach because you’re modifying core WP files, so the next time there’s an update… you have a whole new problem on your hands. Something like what LenK is suggesting makes better sense. I’m searching for a simpler solution though and I will post it here (and it others) if I can find one.
You can install this plugin which allows you to create a blank page, and then when the user clicks on that link have it redirect them to whatever URL you specify. It’s not as proper as I’d like, but a clean, relatively simple solution if you’re not a programmer.
