How can I protect my admin from visitors

Problem:

Although the admin is very well protected by the login and authentication routines used by the software, there are additional actions that you can take to further protect the administration of the software.

Solution:

All admin files and functionality are stored within the "admin" directory. Because of this separation, from the files/functionality of the front side of the software, you can do two things to further "hide" the administration.

1. Password protect the entire admin directory using htaccess. This is a server side feature so talk to your host about protecting directories if you are not familiar with this process.

2.Use the following support wiki article to change the name of the admin directory to something "not standard" like it is at default: /admin
