It’s not a hard folder name to type – but I wish it didn’t contain a dash and was slightly shorter. So I went and renamed my ‘wp-admin’ folder to ‘admin’.

Here is a tip: don’t do it because it doesn’t work. You get an error up that complains about the admin.php file and on inspection there are ‘LOTS’ of hard encoded links to the wp-admin folder. Too many to make it viable to change by hand – especially as a WordPress update could put it all back to how it was.

So basically as it stands with WordPress at the moment (version 2.6.2) – you can’t change the name of that folder, so I’m just going to have to continue being fed up.
