Rename Plugins Folder for WordPress

Enhance Your WordPress Security with Ease

Rename Plugins Folder is a WordPress plugin designed to enhance website security by allowing users to rename the default plugins folder. This simple yet effective tool helps shield your site from potential threats by obscuring the path that bad robots often scan for vulnerable plugins. Instead of the typical wp-content/plugins path, users can change it to something like wp-content/extensions, making it more difficult for malicious entities to detect installed plugins.

The plugin is user-friendly and does not require any knowledge of coding or modifications to the wp-config.php file, as it automatically updates this file to align with the new folder name. It is advisable to back up the wp-config.php file prior to making changes, as issues may arise if themes or plugins do not conform to best practices. If problems do occur, users can easily revert to the original folder name.
