Prestashop How To Change Admin Folder Name

Changing the admin folder name in PrestaShop is a good security practice. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:

🔧 Steps to Change Admin Folder Name

1. Access Your Hosting File Manager

• Login to your hosting (cPanel / FTP / File Manager)
• Go to your PrestaShop root directory (usually public_html)

2. Find the Admin Folder

• You will see a folder like:

  admin123abc
  

• PrestaShop already uses a random name for security.

3. Rename the Folder

• Right-click the folder → Rename
• Change it to something unique, for example:

  admin_secure_panel
  

4. Update Your Admin URL

• Old URL:

  https://yourdomain.com/admin123abc
  

• New URL:

  https://yourdomain.com/admin_secure_panel
  

5. Clear Cache (Important)

• Go to:

  var/cache/
  

• Delete all files inside (except index.php if present)

• Use strong password
• Enable 2FA (if module available)
