Linux Script to Delete and/or Rename Files

We have a problem at work that we are using Word Press And now for security we have to delete install.php in WP-Admin and rename upgrade.php and install_helper.php to *.bak
Im a noob in Script creating (Had a bit practice a couple of years ago but allready forgot T.T) So what i ask that is there a way to make a script

That:
Finds wp-admin(if it exists) folder enters into it and there deletes install.php and renames upgrade.php and install_helper.php to *.bak and the makes the same process again untill theres no wp-admin folders left with these files, We have alot of web pages so manually it would take about a month to find em all (about 3000 pages :/)

Thank you,

Code:

find . -type f -wholename '.*wp-admin/install.php' -delete

find . -type f -wholename '.*wp-admin/upgrade.php' -exec mv {} {}.bak \;

find . -type f -wholename '.*wp-admin/install_helper.php' -exec mv {} {}.bak \;

Code:

find . -type f -wholename '.*wp-admin/install.php' -delete

find . -type f -wholename '.*wp-admin/upgrade.php' -exec sh -c 'mv -i "${1%php}"php "${1%php}bak"' {} {} \;

find . -type f -wholename '.*wp-admin/install_helper.php' -exec sh -c 'mv -i "${1%php}"php "${1%php}bak"' {} {} \;

You can use #!/bin/bash or #!/bin/sh. It does not matter.

rm -f dir_name
to delete wordpress folders for example

Code:

find . -type d -name 'wordpress' -exec rm -f {} \;
