I also tried a different plugin to change/hide URLs and protect the wp site from anonymous direct access to files, which means it allowed for changing default paths. That didn't work, but this simple one does. Thanks! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4cb41bdd95e19f1bd583bf500a4a26d15b3f08e08280bfcd562d50f8e9b2b587? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[thanks !](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thanks-1000/)󠁿 [Jean R.](https://profiles.wordpress.org/efbi/) September 3, 2016 thanks !
