Protect your website by concealing vulnerable WordPress traces, plugins, themes, login/admin url. 2FA, Captcha, Firewall, Security Headers etc.

== Description ==

Effortlessly conceal your WordPress site from detection! With over 99.99% of hacks targeting specific plugin and theme vulnerabilities, this plugin significantly boosts site security by making it invisible to hackers' web scanners. 

By removing all traces of WordPress, including themes and plugins, potential exploits are rendered harmless. This method ensures that your site is safe without affecting SEO; in fact, it can enhance certain SEO aspects when used strategically.


WP-Hide has launched the **easiest way to completely hide your WordPress** core files, login page, theme and plugins paths from being shown on front side. This is a huge improvement over Site Security, since no one will know whether you are running or not a WordPress. It also provides a simple way to clean up html by removing all WordPress fingerprints.

**No file and directory change!**
No file and directory will be changed anywhere. Everything is processed virtually. The plugin code uses URL rewrite techniques and WordPress filters to apply all internal functionality and features. Everything is done automatically without user intervention required at all.

**Real hide of WordPress core files and plugins**
The plugin not only allows you to change default URLs of you WordPress, but it also hides/blocks such defaults. Other similar plugins, just change the slugs, but the defaults are still accessible, obviously revealing WordPress as CMS.

You can change the default WordPress login URL from wp-admin and wp-login.php to something totally arbitrary. No one will ever know where to try to guess a login and hack into your site. It becomes totally invisible.

When testing with WordPress theme and plugins detector services/sites, any setting change may not reflect right away on their reports, since they use cache. So, you may want to check again later, or try a different inner URL. Homepage URL usage is not mandatory.

Being the best content management system, widely used, WordPress is susceptible to a large range of hacking attacks including brute-force, SQL injections, XSS, XSRF etc. Despite the fact the WordPress core is a very secure code maintained by a team of professional enthusiast, the additional plugins and themes make ita vulnerable spot for every website. In many cases, those are created by pseudo-developers who do not follow the best coding practices or simply do not own the experience to create a secure plugin.
Statistics reveal that every day new vulnerabilities are discovered, many affecting hundreds of thousands of WordPress websites.
Over 99,9% of hacked WordPress websites are target of automated malware scripts, which search for certain WordPress fingerprints. This plugin hides or replaces those traces, making the hacking bots attacks useless.

It works well with custom WordPress directory structures,e.g. custom plugins, themes, and upload folders.

Once configured, you need to **clear server cache data and/or any cache plugins** (e.g. W3 Cache), for a new html data to be created. If you use CDN this should be cache clear as well.

**No other plugin functionality will be blocked or interfered in any way by WP-Hide**

This plugin allows to change the default Admin URL from **wp-login.php** and **wp-admin** to something else. All original links turn the default theme to “404 Not Found” page, as if nothing exists there. Besides the huge security advantage, the WP-Hide plugin saves lots of server processing time by reducing php code and MySQL usage since brute-force attacks target the weakURL.

**Important:** Compared to all other similar plugins which mainly use redirects, this plugin turns a default theme to“404 error” page for all **blocked URL** functionalities, without revealing the link existence at all.

Since version 1.2, WP-Hide change individual plugin URLs and made them unrecognizable. For example,the change of the default WooCommerce plugin URL and its dependencies from domain.com/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/ into domain.com/ecommerce/cdn/ or anything customized.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

Feel free to contact us at contact@wp-hide.com for fast support.





= Will the Plugin Alter Anything on My Server? =

Under the hood, this plugin never writes to, deletes, or modifies any existing files or directories on your server. Instead, it leverages WordPress’s built-in hook system and virtual URL rewrite rules—applied in memory—to seamlessly redirect and mask asset links. Rest assured, your core files, themes, and plugins remain exactly as you left them, with zero risk of unintended changes.

= Is This Plugin Suitable for Someone Without PHP Knowledge? =

Yes—100% beginner-friendly.
You don’t need to write a single line of PHP to customize or manage this plugin. Every feature is controlled via a clear, intuitive admin panel with descriptive labels, tooltips, and contextual help. Whether you want to hide common WordPress paths, rename your wp-content folder, or inject security headers, each option can be toggled on or off with a simple click. If you ever get stuck, hover over the question-mark icons for guidance, or check out our step-by-step documentation.

= Is There a Demo Available to Explore? =

Yes, you can check out a live demo at <a target="_blank" href="https://demo.wp-hide.com/">https://demo.wp-hide.com/</a>. Additionally, you can visit our official website, <a target="_blank" href="https://wp-hide.com/">WP Hide and Security Enhancer</a>, for more information.

= Can I Use the Plugin on an Nginx Server? =

Free Version: Does not auto generate native Nginx rewrite directives. However, you can still run it behind an Nginx reverse proxy or on hybrid setups (e.g., Apache + Nginx). However, it is fully compatible with Apache, LiteSpeed, IIS, and Nginx when used as a reverse proxy.
For Nginx conside  <a target="_blank" href="https://wp-hide.com">WP Hide PRO</a>.

WP Hide PRO: Includes a dedicated UI for generating Nginx configuration snippets—simply paste them into your server block to enable full URL masking, asset renaming, and security header rules. For more details, check out WP Hide PRO.

= Can I Still Update WordPress, Plugins, and Themes? =

Yes, updates remain effortless.
Our plugin is designed to play nicely with the WordPress update process. You can upgrade your core, themes, and all other plugins through the dashboard or via WP-CLI without disabling WP Hide. All rewrite rules and filters persist through updates, so there’s no downtime or extra steps required.

= Does the Plugin Affect My Website’s SEO? =

Not in the slightest.
We only rewrite the paths to static assets (CSS, JS, images) and administrative URLs—your publicly visible content URLs (posts, pages, categories) remain unchanged. Search engines will continue to index your site normally, and any existing sitemaps or canonical tags will work exactly as before. In fact, by hiding version parameters and generic WordPress identifiers, you may see a slight improvement in perceived site quality.

= Is the Plugin Compatible with My Site’s Cache? =

Fully compatible.
Whether you’re using WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, or any other popular caching layer, WP Hide integrates without conflict. All rewritten URLs are cached just like your standard assets. If you enable HTML, CSS, or JS minification in your cache plugin, WP Hide will automatically adjust to serve the correct file paths.

= What Are HTTP Security Headers? =

Critical defenses, made easy.
HTTP Security Headers (like Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security) instruct browsers to apply extra safeguards when serving your site. Normally, you’d have to edit .htaccess or web server config files—now you can add, customize, and test these headers directly from a graphical interface. No manual coding, no syntax headaches; just point and click level security hardening.

= Which Servers Are Compatible with This Plugin? =

Out of the box:
•    Apache (with .htaccess support)
•    IIS (web.config)
•    Any server behind Nginx, Varnish, or HAProxy

For other environments:
Consider upgrading to <a target="_blank" href="https://wp-hide.com">WP Hide PRO</a>, which provides tailored configuration snippets and an enhanced Setup page for Nginx, OpenLiteSpeed, and more.

= How Can I Use the Plugin with My OpenLiteSpeed Server? =

1.    Enable .htaccess Processing
Make sure your OpenLiteSpeed instance is configured to read .htaccess files—see this support thread for guidance.
2.    Adjust Cache Plugin Settings
If you use LiteSpeed Cache, turn off the CSS/JS Minify option (under Optimization Settings) to prevent conflicts with WP Hide’s rewrite rules.
3.    Custom Config File
If your server requires rules outside of .htaccess (e.g., in httpd-config.conf), WP Hide PRO can generate the exact rewrite blocks you need—no guesswork involved. See WP Hide PRO details.

= How Do I Use the Plugin on a Bitnami Setup? =
By default, Bitnami LAMP setups do not process .htaccess files, so rewrites won’t work. To resolve this:

* Update the main config file located at /opt/bitnami/apps/APPNAME/conf/httpd-app.conf.

<pre><code>AllowOverride None</code></pre>
to
<pre><code>AllowOverride All</code></pre>  

* Restart the Apache service through SSH:
<pre><code>sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart</code></pre>

For more details, refer to the <a href="https://docs.bitnami.com/general/apps/redmine/administration/use-htaccess/">Bitnami documentation</a>.

You can still keep the configuration as it is using the <a target="_blank" href="https://wp-hide.com">WP Hide PRO</a>, more details at <a href="https://wp-hide.com/documentation/setup-the-plugin-on-bitnami-wordpress-lamp-stack/">Setup the plugin on Bitnami WordPress LAMP stack</a>

= .htaccess File Writing Error – Unable to Write Custom Rules =
If you see the error “Unable to write custom rules to your .htaccess. Is this file writable?”, follow these steps:

1.    Verify File Permissions. Ensure .htaccess has permissions 0664 (rw-rw-r–) or 0644, owned by the same user/group running PHP.
2.    Check for Conflicts. Temporarily disable other plugins or themes that may lock or rewrite .htaccess. Reactivate them one by one to isolate the conflict.
3.    Reinitialize the Plugin. Deactivate and then reactivate WP Hide; this often resets internal flags and allows writing.
4.    Regenerate .htaccess. Backup and delete your existing .htaccess, then visit Settings → Permalinks to rebuild it. Afterward, return to WP Hide settings to reapply your custom rules.
                            
= Something Went Wrong – How Can I Recover My Site? =
Don’t worry—your site will not be harmed. Here’s how to troubleshoot:

* Log in to your admin dashboard and adjust plugin settings to identify the issue. Report the problem on our forum or contact us for assistance.

* If you can’t access the admin area, use the Recovery Link sent to your email to reset the login to default.

* If the Recovery Link doesn’t work or you can’t find it, delete the plugin from the wp-content/plugins directory and remove any lines in your .htaccess file between:
 BEGIN WP Hide & Security Enhancer
..
 END WP Hide & Security Enhancer 
 
 * Your site should now function as before. If issues persist, contact us at contact@wp-hide.com, and we’ll help you resolve it quickly.

= How Do I Use the Recovery Link? =
The Recovery Link resets all plugin options and restores your site to its default state. To use it:

* Enter the link into your browser’s URL bar.

* After the process completes, you’ll see a message: “The plugin options have been reset successfully.”

* If the message doesn’t appear, clear your site’s cache (usually located in /wp-content/cache/) and reload the Recovery Link.

= What to do if I can’t find a functionality that I’m looking for? =

We’re continuously improving WP Hide! If there’s a feature you need—whether it’s a new rewrite rule type, custom header option, or integration with third party plugins—please contact us. Your suggestions drive our roadmap, and we’ll do our best to include it in an upcoming release.
