[jademe]

I would like to completely remove all the traces that says its a site that’s using certain themes and plugins. Mean while could you please let me know how to rename all the classes and Ids used by a certain theme and also plugins?

Hi, it’s not recommended to replace css class/Id as it might break the website. But if in case you have to replace, say you want to replace css class “plugin-css-class”, then you have to add the replacement in HMWP “replace in html” option like below:

plugin-css-class ==> my-new-css-class

And then you have to replace the name “plugin-css-class” to “my-new-css-class” in respective plugin’s css file as well.

This needs a little knowledge of coding so if you are a newbie it’s better to ignore it.

You are asking me to replace the ID/class names in the original css files of plugin/theme too, when I have to replace the names physically what job is my purchased HMWP is doing then? If I have to replace the names in original CSS files of a plugin/theme, I can do that even without HMWP plugin! So why should I buy this HMWP plugin in first place?? Reason to buy HMWP PLUGIN?

Hi, HMWP plugin hides default WP paths from the website’s page source so that wordpress is not detected. Regarding the replacement of css class names, in first place it’s not recommended, but if you have to then it needs to be done manually as it requires change in plugin’s file too. This is mentioned in the FAQ here too – http://codecanyon.net/item/hide-my-wp-no-one-can-know-you-use-wordpress/4177158/faqs/20827
