How to hide WPML plugin

[d_ch]

Hi!

After installing your plugin at my client’s website https://hotel-avlakia.gr/, I tested it at https://www.wpthemedetector.com/ & https://hackertarget.com/wordpress-security-scan/ and it hides WP very well!

However, I would like to ask you one extra thing. Is there a quick way to also hide WPML string from source code where it is appeared 49 times?

Waiting fore your advice!

Hi, you can rename link tag IDs like wpml-legacy-dropdown-0-css, wpml-legacy-dropdown-0-inline-cs, etc. using “replace in html” option. Add replacement like beow:

wpml-legacy-dropdown-0-inline-css ==> somename

But it’s not recommended to replace CSS class names like wpml-ls-statics-shortcode_actions, wpml-ls-flag, wpml-ls-item, etc. as it might break the site’s functionality.

So as I understand it’s not possible to totally hide WPML right?

Yes, the wpml class names in site’s page source can’t simply be renamed with Replace tools.

But there’s a way around, which needs a bit of coding skill. If you want to replace css class name “wpml-ls-item” to something like “xyz-ls-item”, then you’ll need to add following replacement in “replace in html”:

wpml-ls-item ==> xyz-ls-item

Then copy the css code from https://hotel-avlakia.gr/ext/sitepress-multilingual-cms/templates/language-switchers/legacy-dropdown/style.css and add it in “Internal CSS” in Source Code tab (before adding there you’ll need to replace all occurrences of “wpml-ls-item” with “xyz-ls-item”)
