- It makes you more secure
- Hackers usually attack /admin so we are gonna change it to /somethingyouwant
So how to do this?:
- Connect to your server through FTP or whatever you want.
- Go to your IP.Board Directory
- Locate the admin folder and rename it to whatever you want! If you want it ultra ultra secure you can use hash generator that generates you alot of compatible characters such as:ae0bbd2810ede227bbeec1b9442f83f4
- After you rename your admin folder you need to create a new php file. It should be placed in same location as index.php. Create it and call it:
Code:constants.php
- It must be exactly calledconstants.php otherwise it wont work.
- Inside ofconstants.php type following:
Code:
<?phpdefine( 'CP_DIRECTORY', 'Your new directory' );
