Thanks agentmoller001. I’ll try it. I’ll let you know tomorrow whether it worked or not.

Meanwhile, do you have any idea if the solution that I came up with (which definitely works) is safe and secure?

Hi again agentmoller001,

I thought that CNAME and ALIAS have to resolve to a domain name. Do you now of a way to get CNAME (or alias) to resolve to a domainname/subdirectory ?

Hi agentmoller001,

I guess that I wasn’t clear in my original post: I need to have wp in a subfolder because later on there will be a few more subfolders with different installations of WP in them. I want to be able to switch between them easily on a seasonal basis. With my current setup I’m not having any problems. I needed to have a simple way (without having to remember the name of each seasonal subfolder) of logging in. I wanted to make it easy for my office staff too.

With the solution I’ve found, I’ll just have to change a few lines of code four times per year… by doing so, the admin url will remain the same all year long.

My question is only about the safety of solving the problem of the admin url the way I did.
Before asking this question I searched google and the forums for a method of accomplishing what I’ve done with my ‘fake wp-admin’ subfolder but I couldn’t find any instructions for doing it. Now that I’ve figured out a way, I want to know if the method is safe and secure.

Thanks for posting,
Deraj
