Plugin change the wp-admin url to admin-panel(or anything you want) in wordpress admin area without breaking anything. eg: http://www.example.com/wp-admin/ to http://www.example.com/admin-panel/
Steps you should follow for working this plugin correctly :
Step 1: add this code to your wp-config file(screen shot-1).
define('WP_ADMIN_DIR', 'admin-panel');
define('ADMIN_COOKIE_PATH',SITECOOKIEPATH.WP_ADMIN_DIR);Step 2: add this rule at the top of the your htaccess file(screenshot-2).
RewriteRule ^admin-panel/(.*) wp-admin/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]Step 3: Extract the zip file and just drop the contents in the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation and then activate the Plugin from Plugins page. Refer screenshot for clear understanding.
Why this plugin need manual editing :
- There is no option for inserting values wp-config file using wordpress hooks/filters
- its difficult to add new rules in htaccess file with wordpress hook.
Because of this two reasons i cannot build a fully automatic plugin.Suggesions for improving this plugin is always welcome.
