 * I need very simple url rewrite, e.g. rewrite /admin to /wp-login.php and i do
   NOT want to use .htaccess but just functions.php.
 * I have tried
 *     ```
       add_action('init', 'mc_admin_url');
       function mc_admin_url() {
       add_rewrite_rule('admin', 'wp-login.php','top');
       }
       ```
   
 * and many other variants with slashes at the begining etc. but nothing seem to
   work. Can anyone help me?
