    As mentioned in the subject, when I enter a new theme path, my site breaks.

    First of all, I must say that I’m not sure how to configure HMWP correctly. Your documentation explains what different options are for, and that’s straightforward enough. But it doesn’t really give step-by-step instructions on setting up .htaccess and/or wp-config.php … I’m not even sure what code to put in these files, as I’ve tried some of the codes suggested in the FAQs, and it broke my site. Actually let me list what I’ve tried here, and please confirm and/or correct me if I did anything wrong.

    – My site is a single-wordpress-installation site, and it’s run on Apache server.
    – My permalinks common settings: Post Name
    – I’m using WP Rocket as my caching plugin

    I’ve come across this FAQ:

    It breaks my entire site! CSS and JS file can’t be loaded anymore. What should I do?

    So am I supposed to add [Maybe HMWP LINES] exactly like this above RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f? and add # in front of RewriteRule .* index.php [L] in the following block?

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
    [Maybe HMWP LINES]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

    I did this and it gave me 500 Error message…

    And am I supposed to change the file permission of .htaccess to 777 as I’m working with HMWP configuration? If things are working properly, what lines of codes should I expect to see in .htaccess and wp-config.php (if relevant)?

    Please advise.

    Best regards,

    John

    Hi, please follow these steps:

    – goto HMWP Start Tab, apply ‘Medium Pripacy – More Compatibility’ scheme and save the settings

    – goto HMWP Permalinks & URLs tab, set “rename plugins” option to “all plugins” and save the settings

    Note: Your site’s htaccess file should be writeable. The new backend login URL will be http://www.YourDomain.com/wp-login.php?hide_my_wp=1234 (you can change the secret code “hide_my_wp=1234” from general settings tab)

    If it’s still the issue then please let us know your website’s wp-admin login details (as private message), so that we can look into the issue.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your reply. I’ve followed your instructions. The site doesn’t break now, and wp-content and wp-includes are now hidden.

    But the following can still be found in the source code though:
    – my premium theme name
    – woocommerce
    – WPML
    – wp-admin
    – wp-image
    – wp-post
    – wp-toolbar
    – many other “wp-”

    On Permalinks & URLs tab, I chose “All Plugins” for Rename Plugins, saved settings, and cleared cache. Yet, I’m still seeing Woocommerce in the source code. Am I supposed to change a plugin folder name with a codename somewhere? I can’t find that option anywhere btw.

    Also, one of my plugin is no longer working with HMWP…

    Also, I’ve tried deactivating HMWP. After re-activating the plugin, all the settings are gone. Is this normal?

    Please advise.

    Best regards,

    John

    The plugin that’s not working is Instashow (http://codecanyon.net/item/instagram-feed-for-wordpress-instashow/13004086).

    The plugin pulls images from my instagram account. With HMWP activated, the images are not displayed. More precisely, the plugin seems to be loading images forever.

    Homepage

    Scroll down to “Review from celebrities” section, this is where the mentioned plugin is supposed to function.

    I’ve disabled/unchecked “Disable directory listing and hide other .txt files” option under General settings tab, and it’s working fine now. Please check and let us know.
