    Hi,

    I install the last version of HMWP on a fresh WP 3.6.1 install, everything works fine.

    But while I was testing the hiding, I notice that the only plugins directory accessible is the one of HMWP. I can navigate with a browser wihtin the whole directory.

    HMWP isn’t hiding itself ?

    I have read the Quick Fix Guide and the FAQ and didn’t find a clue.

    The .htaccess is there, and HMWP can modify it (in fact HMWP create it as I didn’t had one before).

    Regards.

    Smart 🙂

    Simply add this rule to your Replace URLs field:

    wp-content/plugins/==nothing_404_404

    Try here again

    OK it works but it’s a workaround isn’t it ?

    Will you add this in the code in a next release ?

    Sorry for delay,

    I in rare cases a plugin may need to directly request files in its folder. In these cases above rule will block access.

    Therefore, if you experience problem it’s better to use this one:
    wp-content/plugins/hide_my_wp/==nothing_404_404

    Yes, I’m going to add it (the second rule) to future version. You can hide any other folder with same method.

    Right, it causes troubles to ‘WP Maintenance Mode’

    Thanks
