Very powerful!

  • It is a very powerful plugin but in my personal opinion it has too many options and it is too complex for me at the moment.

    For now I don’t feel comfortable making this changes. Maybe in the future I try it again but for the moment I will avoid it due to its complexity.

    Also it requires to activate “Lite Mode” and this messages shows up which I also don’t feel safe/comfortable making this change.

    Lite Mode will set these predefined paths:
    Login Path: /wp-login.php => /newlogin
    Core Contents Path: /wp-content => /core
    Core Includes Path: /wp-includes => /lib
    Uploads Path: /wp-content/uploads => /storage
    Author Path: /author => /writer
    Plugins Path: /wp-content/plugins => /core/modules
    Themes Path: /wp-content/themes => /core/views
    Comments Path: /wp-comments-post.php => /comments
    Note! Paths are NOT physically change on your server.
    The Lite Mode will add the rewrites rules in the config file to hide the old paths from hackers.

    However this seems to be an amazing protection but those paths must be set by the WordPress admin because a hacker can simply guess the paths by looking at this “Lite Mode” message.

  • Thank you for the review.

    The videos from these security experts and Youtube influencers will help you out for sure:

    https://www.squirrly.co/marketingtools/4-user-made-youtube-videos-for-hmwp-ghost/

    Their Youtube videos will help you easily go through all the necessary settings, to help make everything super easy.

    The paths from safe mode can easily be configured by going to each of them (as you will see in the videos). So that really won’t be a worry.

    Also, most WordPress attacks are made by hacker bots, which are written with the basic paths. It’s very unlikely you’ll find a bot written with these paths.

    And it also doesn’t matter since you can configure them.

    You’ll see many people here https://www.squirrly.co/successful/hide-my-wp/ who’ve managed to get WordFence and WP Cerber to report back to them that no more attacks are taking place on a daily basis after going through the settings of Hide My WP Ghost.
