htaccess question for wp-admin folder

Well, I tried a few things, an nothing seems to work ??

Any suggestions? I am using ajax, so when I call it for the theme admin_url(admin-ajax.php), well, wp-admin shows on code… its the last thing to totally hide WP.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I’am not sure if i understand this correctly but you want to add a custom rewrite rule within your .htaccess file, to change your default wp-admin folder?
But the plugin already support that functionality, see WP-Hide > Admin > Admin Url. For more details see this article https://www.wp-hide.com/documentation/admin-change-wp-admin/

Ah, I see. Let me give that a run tonight… Update with results.

Thank you!

I tried it — yes, this is what I was seeking to do… And it did work at face value, that is to say, wp-admin did change to new-folder-name — except as administrator I couldn’t get into the admin pages. I tried my new folder name in url and that didn’t work either ??

Any suggestions?

Thank you very much!

Ah, I bet I have some obscure code in the the theme that’s messing with your intentions. I will investigate tonight and update. But feel free to throw out some ideas in case I am wrong.

Thanks!

This should work fine, i suggest so you try with a dummy WordPress instance (no other active plugins and a default theme) to make sure it run fine on your server environment. Then you can go further and see what cause any conflicts.

Okay, finally figured it out — NEED to clear out CACHE and restart browsers. I tried it on Safari, Chrome and Firefox – all work now ?? BRILLIANT plugin, man, seriously! Thank you so much for the plugin and support!

I did only add this last piece of code in functions.php to really give it the final touch:

/* when logged out redirect to homepage */
function logout_redirect_home(){
	wp_safe_redirect(home_url());
	exit;
}
add_action('wp_logout', 'logout_redirect_home');

Again, THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ??
