Hiding the administration panel from url

Post by Uochitoki » Sat May 07, 2011 8:52 pm

Hi to all!

I wish to remove the possibility to access to the administration panel typing /administration.

Like joomla.org, for example.

Anyone know how?


Thanks to all! :)

There are Extensions that redirect the http://www.site.com/administrator url to http://www.site.com. And require a url like http://www.site.com/administrator?passcode to reach the Admin login screen.

Oh, thanks!

I'm so sorry! I'm Italian and I don't speak and understand English very well!
