    hi.
    i am using hmwp version 5.5.1
    and wordpress & buddypress (latest version).

    1 ) i just activated the plugin on my test site, entered my purchase code.
    from Setting > Hide My WP > Start > Import options > – Select Scheme –
    i selected the High Privacy – Less Compatibility
    and hit save settings.

    2 ) after that i went to HMWP > Permalinks & URL > new wp-admin path*
    i changed it to panel. and i followed the instuction afterward very carefully.
    i also set my .htaccess to 777 (double checked to see if the setting was there? and they were)
    and i changed the wp-config as explained.

    now the problem is here :
    if i write example.com/panel , i will see a 404!
    if i write example.com/wp-admin , it will redirect me to /panel !

    now this is strange a little. because in the > General Settings >
    Canonical Redirect > Disable canonical redirect. This is require when you want to use URL queries.
    is checked.

    A – so i should not get a redirection from /wp-admin to /panel
    B – i should not see a 404 when i’m trying to reach /panel
    C – now , i cannot update anything! or change anything( settings, posts )
    because they have the new address
    like :
    example.com/panel/edit.php (you will see 404)
    and i have to replace panel with wp-admin every single time
    example.com/wp-admin/edit.php ==> (inspite of the fact that canonical is disabled!) get redirection to ==> example.com/panel/edit.php
    and after redirection i can see the screen

    and if i want to update, or move from that page? i have to do it all again.

    D – i cannot update any of my setting because of /panel ==> 404 issue

    E – i cannot update HMWP setting anymore! when i hit save changes
    in a normal situation the page will reload and said changes are saved or done!
    but now, i see a 404 because of /panel . and when i replace panel with /wp-admin and hit enter
    it will take me to example.com/panel/options.php

    Extra Information :
    my functions.php is empty
    my cache is cleared

    how can i correct this ? (not disable the /panel)!
    i mean correct it not to see a 404

    thanks a lot for help.

    Hi, not sure what exactly would have been the issue previously. Let us know if the issue arises again.

    Regarding the “replace tools”, the replacements that you have added in “replace in html” and “replace urls” options both are not correct. It’s not recommended to replace css class names and script variables as it might break the website.

    Please check this FAQ for more info regarding the replacements – https://codecanyon.net/item/hide-my-wp-amazing-security-plugin-for-wordpress/4177158/faqs/20827

    NOTE: you’ll need to check the site’s page source in logged out state.

    HMWP is for hiding wordpress from the frontend only. If a user logins and has access to WP backend then wordpress won’t/can’t be hidden in such case.

    The replacement that you have added in “replacement in html” for wangguard-bp.css is not correct. This will completely remove the css and hence the corresponding plugin will not work well. Please use “replace urls” option for the URLs.

    And can you please let us know what exactly is not being hidden in the site’s page source?

    Also let us know your website’s wp-admin login details (as private reply), so that we can add the replacements for you.

    Hi, I checked HMWP settings, all looks fine there. But nothing is being replaced at all! I’ve assigned this ticket to sr. support so that he can look further into it.

    Yes, you can change htaccess file’s permission to 644. I’ve already assigned this ticket to sr. support and he shall get back to you.

    Yes, that’s what HMWP plugin is for. You can check our demo WP site http://hide-my-wp.wpwave.com/

    But in your website it doesn’t seems to be working. The sr. support will get back to you regarding the issue.

    yes . i saw the demo now, and the files are completely hidden.

    does HMWP hide or rename the cookies too?
    because when i borrow my site cookies, i can see wordpress_test
    or wordpress or wp or bp (buddypress) and …
