Is there a way to remove things like

<meta name=”generator” content=”Powered by Visual Composer – drag and drop page builder for WordPress.”/>

and

<meta name=”generator” content=”Powered by Slider Revolution 5.0.8.5 – responsive, Mobile-Friendly Slider Plugin for WordPress with comfortable drag and drop interface.” />

?

Hi, you can use “replace in html” option under replace tools tab to replace any text in the site’s page source. Simply add the replacements there like:

Powered by Visual Composer – drag and drop page builder for WordPress. ==> YOUR-REPLACEMENT-TEXT

Okay. Does this replace in html feature support regex or wildcard matching? Which will be required for contant that changes with version numbers: like :

“Powered by Slider Revolution 5.0.8.5 “

Currently it doesn’t support wildcard/regex. In your case you can replace the text by breaking it into chunks. You can add following replacements:

Powered by Slider Revolution >>> SRev

Mobile-Friendly Slider Plugin for WordPress with comfortable drag and drop interface >>> myslider

I have W3 Total cache installed and enabled minfiy. I have renamed the w3_normalize_file_minify() function to w3_normalize_file_minify0() like described in your faq. But things still don’t work.

It looks like W3TC is running before HMWP since it’s not minifying a lot. There are a ton of <link rel=”stylesheet” ..> tags in my HTML with a new link (changed by HMWP). I think W3TC is not minimizing them because it can’t find them in the source (they are predefined in W3TC config).

I can probably fix that by changing the file path’s in W3TC. But I’m not sure if this is the way it’s supposed to work?

Since I also see this in the top of my HTML:

<head><link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”https://www.site.com/wp-content/cache/minify/000000/6471d/page-full.include.94341c.css” media=”all” />

You can see there’s stille a /wp-content/ link in the header so it’s very clear we’re running WP.

Shouldn’t HMWP always run as the last plugin?

Hi, did you also disable ‘Rewrite URL structure’ from Minify page? If not then please try disabling it. Also clear the cache and minified css/js.

I didn’t disable that setting but I did now. By doing that it’s no longer showing /wp-content/ like before but it’s still not working as expected.

I have configured W3TC configured for manual mode. Because some CSS files cannot be minified/merged into 1 css file.

So in my W3TC settings I have, for example:

wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/css/js_composer.css ‘All Templates’ ...

This works perfectly fine with HMWP disabled. When it’s disabled W3TC adds a new minified/merged css file and removes the including of ‘wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/css/js_composer.css’ and all other css files I have configured.

With HMWP enabled W3TC seems to still create that minified/merged css file but it’s not removing the including of all the seperate css files.

Any idea what’s wrong?

Hi, can you please post into our support forum (http://support.wpwave.com/), your website’s backend login details (as private reply) so that we can have a look at the issue.

Hi – please can you tell me if this would work together with Word Fence? or would the two conflict in any way?

Hi, HMWp is compatible with wordfence.

Hello. Pre-sales question. Is this plugin compatible with WpEngine? They have some “special” security rules. Thank you in advance

Yes, it is and many of our customers already use it.

As WPEngine does not allow to change Nginx configuration file you’ll need to manually add Nginx rules via redirect section in your WPEngine panel.

I noticed a few bugs the last days after the latest wpml update, I’m investigating it now. Have you noticed any incompatibility with wpml?

OK here’s what I have so far. I have my website running smoothly with hmwp the last year. I haven’t changed anything so far. I just apply the updates.

Everything was working fine until a few days ago, after the latest wpml update which I applied to my website. It seems that if I set a new theme path or a new plugin path then the theme urls and plugin urls are broken. And this happens only for the secondary language which I have on a subdomain all this time.

So to make you understand: 1)I have set as a new theme name /template including the / 2)I have set as a new plugins path /modules including the /

A also have tried different import options schemes such as the first two Light privacy and medium privacy, it doesn’t help. Only those two options can break the website. I also have tried to remove the / and just use template or modules. Doesn’t work either.

On the primary language the urls are working fine. On the secondary language I get 404 erros because all the links are wrond. I give you some examples.

While I’m on http://subdomain.mydomain.com/some-permalink/

many plugin js and css files are like this <link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’contact-form-7-css’ href=’components/encoded-name/includes/css/styles.css’ type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />

while I’m on the primary language which is on the main domain http://mydomain.com/some-permalink/ it is like this:

<link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’contact-form-7-css’ href=’http://mydomain.com/components/encoded-name/includes/css/styles.css' type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />

This happens also for theme js and css files.

Can you reproduce this on your server?

It works fine at our end. Can you please let us know your website’s actual page URLs where we can check these issues? You can post it in our support forum (http://support.wpwave.com/) as private reply.

Yes I’m writing to the forum now

Hi guys, I’ve been using this plugin for a month or so, and suddenly today I got locked out from the backend – is there something wrong with the latest version of the plugin?

Hi, there’s nothing wrong with latest version of HMWP. Recently did you install any other plugin or changed settings of HMWP or any other plugins?

Can you please try setting your sit’es htaccess file to WP default (https://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess) ?

Hi there,

Actually we got a message from Wordpress org:

“This is Hide My WP plugin. We guess someone is researching about your WordPress site.

Here is some more details: Visitor: 117.218.132.22 URL: http://www.rowsley.com/staging/wp-login.php ” As it is our IP and it seem to some problem with ‘Hide My WP plugin’ and it is not allowing to login in system.

Is there any way to disable this plugin through database till login to our system ?

Hi, can you please post this issue in our support forum (http://support.wpwave.com/) so that we can look into it further.

Is there a specific setting with hide my wp that allows you to hide a single plugin?

Hi, right now there’s no option to hide only a single plugin; you’ll need to hide all plugins.

Hi

Pre sale

My visitors coming from search engines. Does the new scheme would impact on SEO?

Hi,

I have purchased the plugin and follow the chosen “high privacy” as the scheme. However, it seems that my website details is still visible via builtwith.com.

Are we able to hide traces of wordpress for web technology information profiler tool like builtwith?

Thank You

Hi, you might want to replace some text like “contact-form-7-css”, “wpclef-main-css”. You can use replace in HTML option under replace tolls tab for the replacement. Let us know if it helps or not.

Hi, Thank you for the prompt response. I have done the replacement for “contact-form-7-css” as per mentioned. However, if you use builtwith, you are still able to see the description with the word “wordpress” as well as the CMS being wordpress. Are we able to hide it completely? If so, we do appreciate your guidance on doing it.

Thank You

Do the changed links in source file change the way firebug sees them? I use it frequently to identify which files need editing and don’t want to lose that ability.

Hi, HMWP doesn’t physically change the default wordpress paths. It simply masks the WP URLs using re-write rules. For example: www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/xyz.jpg becomes something like www.yourdomain.com/file/2015/10/xyz.jpg

Hi,

when replacing for ex. <i class="fa fa-camera" /> it replaces as it should but if I export the settings, and import it again, the import will not work.

We checked it and seems to be a an issue if there’s < ... /> in replacement strings. We’ll be fixing this in the upcoming versions of the plugin. Thanks!

Thank you for your very helpful point! In fact, it was a problem with ” (double quotation) and it was fixed in v5 which is coming soon :)

That is great! Thanks a lot :)

Hello,

I am planning to create a new web development service, which will feature your plugin. The idea is that any new client will purchase through me your plugin. Can I showcase your logo (that will direct to your website/codecanyon page)? With whom do I talk for the permission?

Yes, all sales will be through Envato. :)

I purchased this item twice for two of my sites, entered the license codes and the nag screen still shows up telling me that license is missing or invalid. What’s going on?

Hi, can you please post into our support forum, your website details and purchase code (as private reply) so that we can have a look at the issue – http://support.wpwave.com/

Can this product hide that someone find out that I am using wordpress on sites like http://whatwpthemeisthat.com/ or http://www.wpthemedetector.com/

Thank you

Hi, yes, HMWP will hide the fact that you are using wordpress so that detectors like http://whatwpthemeisthat.com, http://www.wpthemedetector.com, etc. won’t be able to detect wordpress and theme in your site.

Hi, when i install this plugin, there is something went wrong. I only need to hide my wordpress theme name or change it. can you guys explaing me how.

Hi, im using a different kind of theme. which is not simple as a blog theme or normal ecommerce themes. and hide my wp always making some errors. error 500 server internal etc.

Can you please generate debug report (from HMWP start tab) and send it to us here as private reply – http://support.wpwave.com/

Hi, the problem is when someone try to add picture on our form, (its like job form. people adding their gigs to website) it gives 500 server internal.

Is it possible this plugin is not compatible with WPML?

When it’s installed it’s writing a .htaccess file that results in error 500. It’s setting RewriteBase to ’/en’ for example. This is probably because WPML is moving the english site to ’/en/’.. But as far as I can tell, this rewritebase is written by wordpress. Not by this plugin… But the problems are only there when this plugin is loaded…

Looking in the code, it seems to hook in to the add_rewrite_rules action and it’s using home_url() there. And I think WPML is changing home_url(), result : broken htaccess file…

Is there any way you can make this plugin compatible with WPML?

Hi, HMWP is compatible with WPML. Can you please generate debug report (from HMWP start tab) and send it to us here as private reply – http://support.wpwave.com/

Also post your site’s htaccess content after HMWP is activated and settings applied.

Hi this Product isn’t as easy to implement as i first thought it would be. I wish I read the negative comments and how people are struggling to get this to work so i would be appreciative if you could kindly refund me please I have not downloaded the software or used the license key yet.

Hi, we could always help to implement it in your site. And it seems like you haven’t even tried it in your site. We request you to try installing it and if it doesn’t work then we are happy to make a refund.
