Installation & Configuration

How can I change the URL of the admin area?

By default, the Nucleus admin area is located at yoursite.com/nucleus. Maybe you would like to change that to yoursite.com/admin? If so, these are the steps you need to follow:

First log into Nucleus and go to Global Settings. There change the url's for the settings a) 'URL of Admin Area (should end with a slash)' and b) 'Plugin URL' from http://yoursite.com/nucleus/ to yoursite.com/admin/

Then save, after which you will get an error. Leave the browser window as it is...

...and continue by starting your FTP program and connecting to your site.

CHMOD the config.php file you probably edited during installation from 444 (or r--r--r--) to 644 (or rw-r--r--)

then download config.php, open the file, and edit the line that starts with $DIR_NUCLEUS from $DIR_NUCLEUS = '/path/to/your/blog/nucleus/'; to $DIR_NUCLEUS = '/path/to/your/blog/admin/'; (yes, just change 'nucleus to 'admin')

save the file and upload it over the config.php file on your server (you may want to locally backup the first version). Then change the permissions on config.php back to 444 (or r--r--r--)

Still inside your FTP program, rename the nucleus/ directory to admin/

Now open your browser and go to yoursite.com/admin. Done!
