    Since HMWP didn’t replace all ‘wp-content’ ‘wp-admin-bar-wp-logo-default’ ‘wp-admin-bar-dashboard’ ‘wp-includes’ etc strings,
    Is it safe to replace string ‘wp-‘ with something else?

    Hi, please follow the steps below, and you’ll need to change the site’s page source in logged out state.

    – in HMWP start tab, set ‘Medium Privacy – More Compatibility’ scheme and save the settings
    – in HMWP permalinks & urls tab, set “rename plugins” option to “all plugins” and save the settings

    Note: Assuming that it’s WP single site and Apache server. Your site’s htaccess file should be writable. After applying above settings the backend login URL will be http://www.YourDomain.com/wp-login.php?hide_my_wp=1234 (you can change secret code “hide_my_wp=1234” from general settings tab)

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. Done.

    I successfully changed ‘wp-admin’ path,
    but some 3rd party plugins use ‘wp-admin’ string as classes name:
    wp-admin-bar-wp-logo-default
    wp-admin-bar-about
    wp-admin-bar-support-forums
    etc…

    Is it safe to change the ‘wp-‘ string to something else?
    or may it brake functionality of website?

    thanks,
    Yud

    First of all, you’ll need to check the page source in logged out state. If you still can see words like wp-admin-bar, then please let us know your site’s url so that we can have a look at it.
    And it’s not recommended to change “wp-” to something else as it might rename css class names and break the site.
