This video helps you to configure Hide My WP 5.1+ on WPEngine using a pre-made settings scheme. You need to use WPEngine Panel (Rewrite Rules) and enter HMWP settings line by line. Note that you may need to update WPE settings after changing settings or activating new plugin or theme.

You can find HMWP settings here:

PS:

  • The order of rules are important.

  • If you enabled IDS exclude these 4 items (below).
