How do I change the admin URL in Joomla?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 7:26 am

There are a few ways to change the admin URL in Joomla. The easiest way is to go to the Site Manager and select the Site category. Then, select the Joomla! site from the list. On the left-hand side of the screen, you will see the General tab. In the URL field, you will see the admin URL. You can change this URL by entering a new URL in the field and clicking on the Update button.

PRO TIP: If you change the admin URL in Joomla, you will need to update your .htaccess file accordingly. Failure to do so will result in a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access your site.

Alternatively, you can use the admin URL changer extension. This extension allows you to easily change the admin URL. Once you have installed the extension, click on the icon in the toolbar and enter the new URL. The extension will then update the admin URL in the URL field.
