UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 7 Version 7 Support If I rename the admin directory will the forums still work?

When I'm not using any admin features, can I rename the /admin forum to something else for extra security or does the directory need to be called /admin at all times?

Thanks.

I use .htaccess to protect access to mine.

Yes .htaccess can give added security but be careful as I've run into recently on a Gentoo configured host with Apache 1.3

Certain modifications to .htaccess can cause browsing to become enabled. Host provider had to restart Apache to fix one thing, then when I made some other changes it broke it again. I had to put back the previous settings to keep it locked down.

Not sure if it's some fluke on Gentoo or what but weird. Just make sure you double-check your folders/files still work as excepted once you make changes to .htaccess

.

Ok but could I just rename the directory admin to something else when I'm not using the control panel, please?

Yes, you could go that route.
