Make Admin Path manually configurable for all apps

[girish]

@Lonk Right, this is why we didn't add it for WP I would say 1 in 2 installations changes that URL so it cannot come from the manifest itself (maybe the default can come from manifest). But now, we have to make it configurable as well. Anyway, I am happy to see how many other users want this.

@girish Exactly, I was thinking the default from the manifest /wp-admin with it configurable in the "Configure" button settings.

I know at least @marcusquinn would find the Wordpress Backend Admin URL beneficial as well.

does that mean fixing the default theme so people can log in initially? or just have it in the first-run popup?

The WP Cerber plugin can rename the admin link too.

Well, on initial installation, the admin url will always be /wp-admin but since plugins can change that, a configurable setting in the Wordpress app for "Admin Path" would be beneficial for Wordpress users. Tbh, I'd take the solution even if it was hardcoded to /wp-admin and just switch back. But making configurePath configurable for Wordpress would be great for this exact use case.

Yeah I'd love to see this be configurable. I know it's usually at the package level but as we've discussed WordPress people change that often, so it'd be nice to have a way to overwrite the default admin path in Cloudron for those who customize it.

@girish Did this configurable / optional setting ever make it into a future release? I'd love to use it with my wp-admin (that I configure).

[girish]

@lonkle not yet, currently not planned for any release.

[Lonkle]

@girish One day tho maybe? I find myself constantly wanting to fork Wordpress just to add configurePath to the manifest, it's really useful tbh.

[robi]

@lonkle why not do it and see if it gets pulled in?

[Lonkle]

@robi I don't touch dashboard code. I wouldn't mind doing a PR for the Wordpress (Developer) project to add this but to be applicable to all users dashboard code would be needed since "admin urls" are technically changeable.

I don't think @girish should accept anything less than me doing a PR for making the fields customizable. And...okay, now that I've thought about it, if Girish isn't against the PR for the dashboard change, then I'm down to code it.
