Hello,
I've installed WP in a sub-folder under server website root. I intend to create several sites: one for English version and another one for French version:
English version:
http://www.domain.com/sub-folder/en
French version:
http://www.domain.com/sub-folder/fr
What I would like to achieve is to redirect both sites to server root:
English version:
http://www.domain.com/en
French version:
http://www.domain.com/fr
But leave main installation working on sub-folder:
http://www.domain.com/sub-folder/wp-admin
Does anyone know how to achieve such behavior?
Thanks
Doesn't work. If you want WordPress Multisite to act as its in root, it needs to be in root :/

Hi there,
Dam, thought it would be nice. This way I could hide wp-admin from users.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Use something like the WP Hide Dashboard plugin, then. But there's no reason to hide the wp-admin section, unless you just wanna keep 'em out of things. And even then...

Not Dashboard but the entire admin files from users (internet users, not editors or subscribers).
IT's a security issue. That way if someone wants to force a login needs first to find the site installation folder
Doesn't help really. Security through Obscurity is a nice idea, but in the end doesn't change the fact that wp-admin is NOT your attack vector, most of the time.
Read http://codex.wordpress.org/Hardening_WordPress and http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Over_SSL
Also there are some plugins to help you protect against brute force attacks.
