Wordpress disable /admin redirect to /wp-admin

Question

I have my website built with wordpress 4.5.2.

For wordpress contro panel, it it normal to login with myweb.com/wp-admin directory. But I have another control panel with other application in the directory myweb.com/admin.

The problem is whenever I try to login to myweb.com/admin it redirects to myweb.com/wp-admin

How to disable it?

Did you try maybe installing simple 301 redirect?https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-301-redirects/ — RTarson, Jun 01 '16 at 12:59
Was it a recent change in WP update cause I was never able to just type in "admin"? — RTarson, Jun 01 '16 at 13:05

You should cancel the default shortcuts in function.php :

remove_action( 'template_redirect', 'wp_redirect_admin_locations', 1000 );

From the docs:

wp_redirect_admin_locations():

If a user visits example.com/admin, they’ll be redirected to /wp-admin. Visiting /login redirects to /wp-login.php, and so on.
