verhoejw Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 HiI have installed the security suite plugin. Now 2 changes are advised by the plugin.MEDIUM Rename the Admin DirectoryFail. We recommend renaming the /admin folder to something hard to guess. The change must be specified this in the includes/global.inc.php file.Example:$glob['adminFolder'] = 'd229130';MEDIUM Rename the Admin FileFail. We recommend renaming the /admin.php file to something hard to guess. The change must be specified this in the includes/global.inc.php file. It must keep the .php extension!Example:$glob['adminFile'] = '5b06482.php'; Can this be done without any problems ( database etc.. ), meaning if i made these 2 changes will the site and admin part work normally or can i expect more problems.

verhoejw Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 do you need different names for the files or do they have to be the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havenswift-hosting Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 If you look in the includes/global.inc.php file you will see that each can be defined separately so they can definitely be different and I would suggest that making them different would increase securityIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
