    Hi there.

    This is a bit of a newbie question but after working on this for a little while now, I would hate to do something stupid and mess everything up!

    I need to change the name of my amember directory. At the moment everything is sitting at http://mydomain.com/amember and I would prefer it to be http://mydomain.com/members

    Is this as simple as just changing the name of the folder, and then updating the paths on various integrations etc?

    Hope you can help. Like I said, it may be a very simple process but I'm nervous to go ahead without confirmation first.

    Thanks.

    @chriswylde: You will also need to update any folder protection that you have set up as the various .htaccess files will still have the path to the old directory.

    Change the site url in amember admin to the new directory, then you can change the actual directory name in ftp.
