snowrider1 on "[Plugin: Wordfence Security] Admin url and wp-content folder name"

Hi,

I am using Wordfence for the first time and am trying to figure out how to do a couple of things I can do in other security plugins.

1. Change the url of the admin login because hackers know the default wordpress installed admin url.

2. Change the name of the wp-content folder because hackers and brute force attacks are constantly looking for sites with the wp-content folder.

I can easily change the name of the folder via ftp but I'm not sure if doing it that way will break my wordpress install. Other security plugins have an option to change the folder to my desired folder name from within the security plugin, so I know it doesn't break anything when doing it that way.
