Change Xenforo Admin Panel URL Tutorial

Step 1:

In your admin panel Appearance Styles {your theme name} Templates example: test.php



Make ctrl f to search, typed admin.php and Search launched.

replace admin.php with your filename test.php.

Step 2:

In your FTP Rename the admin.php file you want example: test.php

Then in the library / XenForo / Craft link.php

Make ctrl f to search, typed admin.php and Search launched

Rename admin.php your php just before example Rename test.php

Code:

    public static function buildAdminLink($type, $data = null, array $extraParams = array())
    {
        $type = self::_checkForFullLink($type, $fullLink, $fullLinkPrefix);

        $link = self::_buildLink('admin', $type, $data, $extraParams);
        $queryString = self::buildQueryString($extraParams);

        if ($queryString !== '' && $link !== '')
        {
            $append = $link . '&' . $queryString;
        }
        else
        {
            // 1 or neither of these has content
            $append = $link . $queryString;
        }

        if (($hashPos = strpos($type, '#')) !== false)
        {
            $append .= substr($type, $hashPos);
        }

        $outputLink = 'admin.php' . ($append !== '' ? '?' : '') . $append;
        if ($fullLink)
        {
            $outputLink = $fullLinkPrefix . $outputLink;
        }

        return $outputLink;
    }

You can see this line in there which specifies the file name:

Code:

$outputLink = 'admin.php' . ($append !== '' ? '?' : '') . $append;

If you change the file name here and then rename the file on your server then that will change the location of the Admin CP.
