    My link admin is standard: http://www.mydomainname.com/wp-admin. How can i change this? How can i hide the admin to another link? Another adress? I don`t want people to find it. Thank you

    That isn't going to be easy. WP depends upon that file structure to work. Perhaps look into other ways to harden WP.

    I don't think you can change it, but you can do a lot to secure it...see the following:

  4. Hiding doesn't help really and renaming it would probably break things.

    If you have Apache try locking down that directory instead.

    Second link looks about right.

    I want to hide all the things that can tell the fact that my website is a blog. Someone can write in his browser http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin and see that the website is a blog. Thats why i want to hide it, or move it. Nothing more, nothing less and i dont want to hide it for security reasons. Thank you very much for your help but your opinion are for security reasons. Is there another way?

    the link I have provided will hide the wp-admin page, and you can set up your custom page to login. Like:

    yourdomain.com/xyz.

    In this way, it will not look like a blog..

    Good luck hiding the fact that you website is a blog...you have a much larger challenge than just hiding wp-admin to meet that goal.
