How to change .../wp-admin/... (not just the login page)

As a process of white labeling WordPress websites for my clients I was wondering if I can mask admin panel URLs from these:

https://www.somerandomaddress.com/wp-admin/index.php

https://www.somerandomaddress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=12&action=edit

to these:

https://www.somerandomaddress.com/admin/index.php

https://www.somerandomaddress.com/admin/post.php?post=12&action=edit

Preferably I don't want to change core WordPress code so official WordPress updates can be applied without any problem.

Solution

  • You need to modify your .htaccess in order to wp work as before and see the url only changed.

    Try this:

    RewriteRule ^wp-admin/(.*)$ /admin/$1 [QSA,L]
