There are 2 way that i just find on the internet to change wordpress folder name that has been hard coded
Wordpress is great! It’s no doubt. But unfortunetally it still doesn’t have many quite necessary features. One of them is the ability to change wp-admin folder name, which is the admin directory as you probably already now. After searching for several hours on the internet without any success I started thinking of ways how to change my wordpress admin directory name. In this small tutorial I’ll show how to do it. Before starting the tutorial I have to say that this is rather complicated way and there may occured some bugs. Anyway I have tested it and didn’t found any. So let’s start.
All we have to do is to search “wp-admin” in all wordpress files and change it to what we need to use as a admin directory name. Let’s name it for example “profile”. There are over 50 files to change. It’s practically impossible to find all these files manually so we need this great softweare called “grepWin” (Download). After installing this software right click on your wordpress folder and then choose “grepWin…”
Then type “wp-admin” in “Search for:” box and “profile” (or anything you wish) in “Replace with:” and click “Replace”. This software will find every “wp-admin” and replace it with “profile”.
