You must do this via an FTP client like FileZilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Access Your Server Files<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Connect via FTP. Navigate to the root directory where your PrestaShop is installed (usually <code>\/public_html\/<\/code>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Locate the Current Admin Folder<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look for a folder that starts with &#8220;admin&#8221; followed by random numbers or letters (e.g., <code>admin123xyz<\/code>). This is your current back-office path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Rename the Folder<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right-click the folder and select <strong>Rename<\/strong>. Choose a name that is unique and hard to guess, but easy for you to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Good examples:<\/strong> <code>management_77<\/code>, <code>office_secure_2026<\/code>, <code>staff_portal_x<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid:<\/strong> <code>admin1<\/code>, <code>login<\/code>, <code>backoffice<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Access the New URL<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once renamed, your old login link will return a <strong>404 Not Found<\/strong> error. To log in, simply type your new address into your browser:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/yourdomain.ro\/your_new_folder_name\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_Behind_the_Scenes\"><\/span><strong>What Happens Behind the Scenes?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"p-rc_a291455e7b40fc1c-403\">PrestaShop is designed to be &#8220;folder-aware.&#8221;<sup><\/sup> You do <strong>not<\/strong> need to edit any configuration files (like <code>parameters.php<\/code>) or database tables to make this change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When you access the new folder, PrestaShop automatically detects the path change and updates its internal routing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you have a caching layer (like LiteSpeed or Cloudflare) on your <strong>mybox<\/strong> server, you may need to <strong>Clear Cache<\/strong> if the new URL doesn&#8217;t load immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2026_Security_Tips_for_Your_Admin_Panel\"><\/span><strong>2026 Security Tips for Your Admin Panel<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Security Layer<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Recommended Action<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)<\/strong><\/td><td>Enable 2FA in <strong>Advanced Parameters \u279c Administration<\/strong> to require a mobile code for entry.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>IP Whitelisting<\/strong><\/td><td>If you have a static IP, you can use an <code>.htaccess<\/code> file inside your new admin folder to only allow your specific IP address.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Browser Bookmarks<\/strong><\/td><td>Don&#8217;t rely on memory; bookmark your new admin URL immediately.
