 * Hello,
 * I’m wondering if there any way that may help to change or just rename wp-admin
   URL to something else!
    for example instead of wp-admin/profile.php i suppose
   it shoud be [http://www.SiteName.com/UserName/profile.php](http://www.SiteName.com/UserName/profile.php).
 * Thanks in advance

 * do you know how many core files you would have to change the ref in? It’s not
   practical.
    a more practical approach is password protect it or use an `.htaccess`
   in it.
 * google – this has been discussed many times
