 * I installed wordpress automatically through my control panel and it puts it in
   a subdirectory called wordpress. I want to rename it to “blog” but when I rename
   it I can’t login. I change the path name from wordpress to blog and I get a login
   screen but it doesn’t look the same and it doesn’t work.
