Hi there,

After login, when the user creates posts… that particular url is displayed as http://www.viralbae.com/wp-admin/add-post.php

can that wp-admin in url can be removed?

Example: http://www.viralbae.com/add-post.php

Kindly advice.

That is not part of the theme; it’s a built in function of WordPress — unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to hide that unless you do some major “hacking” of WP, which if you’re asking this, you might not be up to.

You should google “hiding wp-admin folder” and similar.

What some folks do is use a posting plugin, which builds separate form, outside of the WP admin system -then folks fill out their post in THAT system — such as custom page, which has post form, which when entered then goes to review to be a live post.

A bit complex — but again, not part of the theme.

If you have people login to your site to post, they are “running” the wp-admin script inside the wp-admin folder — that is WHERE the add-post.php script lives.

That might not have helped — or it might be food for thought. 🙂
