Ghost by default has redirect settings, so WordPress users who have migrated to Ghost, can visit the same old /wp-admin url and get redirected to the /ghost url, to access the Ghost Admin.
This is a useful functionality for users who have migrated to Ghost, who didn’t have knowledge that Ghost uses /ghost instead of /wp-admin.
Some user would like to disable this feature, due to several reasons.
This can be done by editing the /core/server/routes/frontend.js file and changing the following lines.
From.
<pre class="wp-block-code">```
router.get(/^/((ghost-admin|admin|wp-admin|dashboard|signin|login)/?)$/, function (req, res) {
/*jslint unparam:true*/
res.redirect(subdir + '/ghost/');
});
Remove `wp-admin`, the changes should look like:
```
router.get(/^/((ghost-admin|admin|dashboard|signin|login)/?)$/, function (req, res) {
/*jslint unparam:true*/
res.redirect(subdir + '/ghost/');
});
```
```
Save the file.
Now restart Ghost, now Ghost will not redirect when you visit `wp-admin`, it will instead display `404` page.
