Anyone can see that I use WP on this site…

[tbarney1]

Hello,

Whatwpthemeisthat.com shows that my site is running off of WP, incl. the theme info. (version, child/parent,etc) in addition to some of the plugins I’m running.

Please advise.

[tbarney1]

Can someone please respond to my inquiry? It’s been almost a month since I originally posted. This is the worst customer service I’ve ever received for an online purchase.

I had the similar problem. What I did in the mean time to fool whatwpthemeisthat.com completely and also wpthemedetector.com as well (not 100%) is to do 2 things:

— login to cPanel and use File Manager to:

1. go to your theme directory (/public_html/yourdomainname/wp-content/themes/themename) and edit the style.css and blank everything out (not the field name, just the theme info) so it looks similar to this:

/*
Theme Name:
Theme URI:
Description:
Version:
Author:
Author URI:
License:
License URI:
*/

/*

NOTE THIS FILE IS NOT USED WITHIN THE THEME
THEREFORE ADDING CONTENT TO IT WILL NOT WORK

*/

That alone confused whatwpthemeisthat.com and doesn’t know any details.

Now as far as wpthemedetector.com, it somehow does something different. If it can’t find the theme info, is somehow, don’t know how even with disabling all index listing on my site, it is able to get the best guess name from the template directory name…example.

public_html/youdomainname/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/templates/this_is_your_theme_name/

It will guess your theme to be “this_is_your_theme_name” and do a good job at getting the info. What I did was simply change the permissions on that directory from 755 to 750 so anyone couldn’t access it and then wpthemedetector then went after the theme directory name, so I did the same there and confused the hell out of that site.

I surely am no programmer of PHP guru, I just felt that if I wanted my info private, I should easily be able to do it.

Hope this helps. Until then, I just hope we can get a response from wpwave … I want the response from http://wpthemedetector.com to flat out say it doesn’t look like a wordpress site!!!

Hi there,

Thank you so much for taking the time to type out an answer to my question, I really appreciate it! Hopefully we’ll all get responses from the support team soon.

Take care and have a great day!

You are very welcome…we are trying for the same goal…hopefully one of us gets the fix (probably not a fix, just education).

Keep in touch

Hi guys

Sorry for delay,

Actually you don’t need any special effort to hide it from that site! Just choose medium compatibility settings scheme and that’s all!

@nadsrsnug
1) You don’t need to delete theme info manually! HMWP automatically do it! Just enable New Stylesheet Name and choose something as Minify styles (permalink tab).

2) To disable directory listing just find its option from general tab and check it!

That is great, it worked very good!!!! Thank you.

Can’t help asking…I get the message from http://wpthemedetector.com when I enter http://chaseethan.com .. the reason I want it so secure 🙂 :

It was not possible to detect the WordPress theme in http://chaseethan.com, although WordPress was detected in that website.

Is there one last thing I can do to flat out not tell its wordpress?

[nadsrsnug]

ooops. forgoet the rest of my question. The message I get back from wpthemedetector.com is:

It was not possible to detect the WordPress theme in http://chaseethan.com, although WordPress was detected in that website.

Is there anyway to even stop the detection of a wordpress site?

Hi nadsrsnug,

As stated above by Hassan, just selecting ‘Medium Privacy – More Compatibilty’ scheme should do the job. Same is the setting in our demo site – http://hide-my-wp.wpwave.com
