Can I rename the WordPress folder?
If you have not already installed WordPress, you can rename the folder with the WordPress files, before, or even after uploading the files.
If you have WordPress installed already, and you want to rename the folder, login to your website as an administrator and change the following settings in Settings > General:
- WordPress Address (URL):
- Site Address (URL):
Once you have done this, you can rename the directory or folder with the WordPress files in it.
