    Hi, I checked your site’s page source (https://www.screencast.com/t/JJWnpO69) and could see that default WP paths are being replaced, and also the site is working fine. So there’s no issue with htaccess rules and HMWP seems to be working fine.

    If there’s any specific issue then please let us know. Thanks!

    Hi, HMWP doesn’t physically rename any files and folders. It makes use of rewrite rules to replace the WP paths. So, all the defaults paths will still be valid if you access them directly.

    Yes, the aim of the plugin is to hide the default WP paths so that looking at the site’s source visitors and bots cannot detect wordpress. Bots will be scraping the URLs there in the source and hence won’t find that it’s wordpress file structure. Also, HMWP hides theme name and plugins, default login paths, and has intrusion detection system too which will add to the overall security of the site.
