Renaming Wordpress wp-admin url

I want to rename mydomain.com/wp-admin to mydomain.com/admin or something else . I mean i want to remove wp. Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

 

I guess if you are using private hosting, you can go to place where you installed wordpress. go to particular folder wp-admin and rename it..

 

i don't think renaming is that easy... after all, registration of new users needs that url too, so you need to change a few hyperlink in the system.

 

@thewebhostingdir: Thanks for that link. I never thought of changing wp-admin before, but if I ever decide to I know how. Thanks again

 

thanks for the link, the tutorial works perfect

 

You can do it by a plugin named Hide login. it's simple to use.
for any problem regarding this contact me on

contact us page.

 

http://www.michiknows.com/2007/02/12...-admin-folder/ is not working for WP version 3.3.1

Hey,
Edit your .htaccess file
and add the following lines:

######################
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
##### ABOVE THIS POINT IS ALREADY INSERTED BY WORD PRESS
##### Michi’s code is BELOW #####
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} wp-admin/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !YOURSECRETWORDHERE
RewriteRule .*\.php [F,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !YOURSECRETWORDHERE
RewriteRule ^ADMINFOLDER/(.*) wp-admin/$1?%{QUERY_STRING}&YOURSECRETWORDHERE [L]
##### Michi’s code is ABOVE #####
##### BELOW THIS POINT IS ALREADY INSERTED BY WORD PRESS
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
#####################


It also works on Word press 3.2

 

there is some sort of software that can do this but i forgot its name.

 

Above tip seems not to work with Wordpress 3.8.1

 

It may not do exactly what you are looking to do, but will accomplish the same thing, difference between other suggestions and http://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/ is that it just takes a few clicks and it works and has support if needed.

 

yaa seems not working for wordpress 3.8.1 any of the fixes found i am getting an error message after following even all the steps

and Dashboard or anything is not visible can any one help me out on this

Try any plugin. Which act to give role to subscriber guest and visitor.
You dont need to rename it just find any security plugin who give roles to user.
And having option to dont access the visitor to access wordpress admin.

 

i advice you dont do it its there is lots of proplem happend from changing url or it if you talk about security dosent matter its easy to get the admin panel
