Hello Guys,

If I change the admin folder name to any other name that the security is higher I just get a white page with an error

And does anyone know here how I can make that the admin panel isn't visible in my profile that I only can access it if I type in mysite.com/admin

It would be amazing if anyone could help with these two question

Thanks in advance!

Open ./inc/config.php and find;

$config['admin_dir'] = "admin";

and Change the name of your admin folder from admin to whatever you used.

For the second question, you can change it in "member_profile" template.

Edit : not seen Yaldaram's response

see Renaming the Admin Directory

./inc/config.php has below line

$config['hide_admin_links'] = 0;

above value may be changed to 1 so that admin directory links can be removed

Thank you guys, both worked and I made the security in .htaccess to only my ip so now it should be secure as hell

Thanks<3

Just be careful of dynamic IP's if you do that.
