 * I’m about to create 2 wordpress’s. And I remember back in the day you could rename
   the wp-admin folder. I’ve tried to read up on it, but the topic is over a year
   old.
 * From what I saw, I heard it causes problems with plugins and its generally not
   a good idea. I found the htaccess way to protect it & adding the 2nd layer.
 * But what is the general standard now? If someone decided to hack my side I’d 
   prefer them not to be able to tell the wp-admin folder even exists.
    And btw 
   my ip changes whenever there is a power outage so I’m not sure about locking 
   in a ip address.
