Hi, when will you update this plugin to the latest Wordpress and WooCommerce verson?

Thanks!

Hi, it is already compatible with latest version of wordpress and woocommerce.

hi, I have few presales questions. 1.) when we run a speedtest on gtmetrix, it says “Looks like you are running WordPress”, so after installing this plugin will gtmetrix stop showing this?

2.) does this plugin hide the fact that we are using wordpress on whichthemeis that or such similar websites?

3.) when we press F12 in google chrome we can see some code and different folders and plugins in wp-content folder, so does this plugin hide all that information? I mean information about theme, plugins, FTP folders etc.

4.) If there is any other website/tool which does such job (of detecting wordpress) does this plugin hide wordpress from such websites/tools too?

1) Yes, HMWP will hide the fact that you are using wordpress. It also hides the theme and plugins that you are using.

2) Yes, the detectors like whatwpthemeisthat.com, wpthemedetector.com, isitwp.com, etc can’t detect wordress and theme being used

3) Yes, it does

4) Yes, it does

How to configure this plugin to activate login and register, without showin wp-login?

Hi, please follow these steps:

- goto HMWP Start Tab, select “Medium Privacy – More Compatibility” scheme and save the settings - goto Permalink & URLs tab and set “rename plugins” option to “all plugins”

Note: Assuming that it’s WP single site and Apache server. Your site’s htaccess file should be writeable.

Now, the new login url will be www.yourdomain.com/wp-login.php?hide_my_wp=1234

You can change default secret code “hide_my_wp=1234” from HMWP settings. But if you need to change wp-login.php too then you can use free plugin like Theme my login.

In this case, we again shows wp_login.php to users. “Theme my login” helps rename that file without crush?

Yes, theme my login can be used to change login path all together to something like www.yourdomain.com/login/

Hey i love the plugin and everything seems to work correctly besides buddypress profile picture uploading on my site. This is what it looks like http://i.imgur.com/xUgntHR . Is there a certain setting i need to enable disable to get this to work correctly?

Fixed this by changing Compress Page to Simple Minify instead of Safe Minify.

Hi Namus,

I’m having 2 issues with Hide My WP (which for the rest is working perfect, and doing exactly what i wanted).

1. It keeps redirecting me to a 404 when my theme (Wootique) want to load a js script. I tried adjusting the setting for loading js scripts, but no luck so far.

2. Woocommerce product pages also redirect to a 404 page.

I’m running medium settings, with a adjustment on the wp-admin folder. Could you help me solve those 2 issues, i’m stuck for a while. Thanks in advance,

Peter.

Hi, can you please let us know the js script url that’s redirecting to 404 page and woocommerce product page url so that we can check?

Hi,

I’ve sent you a PM, thanks for having a look.

Hi, I have one license code which I want to apply to a new URL, but when I try to access support with that code Codecanyon says “Sorry, but that item purchase code has already been registered with another account. Please login to that account to continue, or create a new account with another purchase code.” I don’t have another account so I’m confused how to make my request (to apply the purchase code to the new URL). This code will be used for ONE SITE only. Help?

Hi, can you please let me know your purchase code via the contact form in my profile page – http://codecanyon.net/user/namus25

Hi there,

I need to hide the wp-admin folder from the url within the browser; for logged in users. I see previous questions on this topic being answered with in a ‘feature release’. Has this been updated yet?

Thanks. Peter

Hi, there’s already an option to rename “wp-admin path” under permalinks & urls tab.

Great, spotted it. And it’s working, thanks for pointing that out.

Hello there Im still stucked with version 3 of this plugin. Indeed since I have bought this plugin I has never updated.How do I update it? I have entered the purchase code but nothing happened.

Hi, first of all backup your current HMWP settings by clicking on “export current settings” button and saving it to text file.

Now, update th[e plugin from your site’s Dashboard >> Updates

You can also follow this:

- go to Plugins page in admin panel and deactivate and delete the plugin

- download latest version of HMWP and upload it

- activate the plugin and import the previous settings

What cache plugin would you suggest to use with this plugin?

And I would also like to know if it possible to use this on multiple databases. So to use the code for the plugin on www.hello.com and also on www.hello.com/hello. So when I have 2 wp installs, if I can use 1 purchase code, because it is in one domaine?

Hi, you can opt for cache plugins like WP super cache, W3 total cache, etc.

If it’s a separate wordpress installation, then regardless of the domain, you’ll need separate license of HMWP

this plugin is fully supported with all wordpress theme special enfold. one of my friend told me that this plugin is not supported with enfold, after activating this plugin formatting of webdesign is lost.

please suggest.

Hi, HMWP is compatible with enfold theme and many of our customers are using it successfully.

Pre-sale question

Hi, I was wondering the following:

1) I am trying to hide the theme name that I am using from wordpress detectors as such—> http://whatwpthemeisthat.com/ and hide that my site is using wordpress all together, would this plugin do as such

2) The site that I want to implement this on, is a real estate site where Agents log into the site to post their properties. This theme contains many .php files and was wondering if it will mess up the logins etc.

I guess its hard to tell since every theme is different.

Thank you. ITsPaul

1) Yes, HMWP plugin will hide theme, plugins and wordpress from the detectors like whatwpthemeisthat.com, wpthemedetector.com, etc.

2) It’ll not mess up the logins and php files or any other files. HMWP doesn’t physically change the file paths, it makes use of rewrite rules to mask the paths.

Thanks for the reply. So the plugin will also mask the wp-admin page etc? What does the Wordpress detector pick up the site as in that case?

Thanks

Yes, you have an option to rename wp-admin path too.

Hello i have some conflict with formcraft , i means not working after install to send form. i wait your answer thx

Hello, Thanks for very quickly answer, i give you url very soon, is not public website yet. Aniway congratulations for the plugins. With respect.

Hi namus, I want to know if this can hide cpanel link.. and change them to something else.. because alot of people trying to access cpanel via wordpress to hack… it suck

Hi, yes you can avoid direct access to /wp-admin and /wp-login.php. You can only access with /wp-login.php?YourSecretCode

Hi namus, I want to know if this can hide cpanel link.. and change them to something else.. because alot of people trying to access cpanel via wordpress to hack… it suck

Please help me… you edit my plugin config and don’t told what are my new admin panel link. My site is ciclovivo.com.br, please reply my ticket.

Hi, the default login url after applying default hmwp settings is www.yourdomain.com/wp-login.php?hide_my_wp=1234

Please change the secret code “hide_my_wp=1234” from hmwp settings page.

I am getting post not found error after changing login details also I updated .htaccess and wp-config.php file but still I cant login.

Hi, can you please try deleting htaccess file (backup before delete). You might need to delete it after each request.

Hi,

Is this plugin compatible with Newspaper theme? ( http://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609/comments?page=317&filter=all#comment_11537848 )

Do you have any exprerience about: is there any speed reduction caused by this plugin?

thanks Tibor

Yes, HMWP is compatible with all themes. Regarding the site speed you can check this FAQ – http://codecanyon.net/item/hide-my-wp-no-one-can-know-you-use-wordpress/4177158/faqs/16071

is it possible to “crypt” the source? That if some one opens the quellcode he cant see anything useful?

Hi, you can’t encrypt the page source with HMWP. You can only rename/mask default WP paths.

I forgot the URL to access.

How can I regain access to my site ?

Hi, goto /wp-content/plugins/ deirectory (using FTP) and rename “hide_my_wp” plugin folder. Now login with /wp-admin; rename back hide_my_wp plugin folder; check your HMWP settings for the secret code.

After activating this plugin on medium settings, my image sliders no longer work… images do not appear. I tried deactivating and then deleting the plugin too but it’s still a problem. Yes, it was the plugin that did this as it was working fine minutes before activating it.

Yes, I’ve already done this and still waiting for a reply. If it’s not fixed by early Wednesday, I’m going to have to delete the site and upload a previous version which means losing hours of work…. so it’s urgent.

nope, still not working. I’m going to have to rebuild the site from an older version and then reinstall the plugin and test
