for hiding plugin, you can put empty html file. I guess you can't hide your page source code, because your site is online.

 

It's impossible to really hide the source code, the closest I've seen is something to stop people from right clicking but a lot of good that does. Like Kimi said, you can put an index file in your plugin folder where nobody can find it. You could also name it something obscure.

However, nobody needs to steal your plugin. If they see something on your website that they like they can have it made the same day.

Hope this helps.

 

thanks @ AmanadaM and @ Kimi ........but i dont want show that this websites made in Wordpress so is there any option for Hiding these things

 

Not really, WordPress code is all in the same format so anyone that wants to look into it will be able to tell. I'm sure the entire code could be rewritten but it would take ages to do.

 

You'll be happy to know that there is a tutorial available for this

It is a must know tutorial for every wordpress user.

 

I never knew this was possible in Wordpress. There is always something new to learn. Thanks!

 

Excellent, Thanks for the awesome piece of information.

Things to consider.

Are you also damaging your ranking potential in the Search Engines?
When you update your site do you have to jump through a lot of hoops to do everything all over again?
Will changes break Plugins?

It simply might not be worth the effort.

 

Ranking should not be affected since there are no identifying markers in the permalinks themselves. This should not be an issue.

Removing the generator meta element has been around for ages. It is actually part of some security hardening articles where they suggest that it be removed, not because its says the page is from WordPress, but what version it is running on.

Any plugins worth their salt should be using the constants provided by WordPress, and not hard-coded partials such as bloginfo('url') . '/wp-content/plugins' in their coding. If a plugin breaks when redefining those constants, then the plugin needs to be updated by the author.

As for updates, I cannot see any issues with redefining global constants (that is why they are there) or removing the generator meta element.

 

I think he was asking to hide only the wordpress version not the entire source code which is obviously not possible , even if right click is blocked , anyone can download firebug firefox plugin and see the source code. But if your intention is to hide the fact that you are using WP then it is possible . First goto cpanel and >> PHPMyadmin >> and change your database table prefix to something else (it is wp_ by default) , then you can also remove the footer attribution , Also change appearance your login screen(add CSS styling in your index.php, and your login screen will look different) and of course the above plugin which is mentioned . All of this should be able to make you hide your wordpress from whatever you are hiding it .

 

Man, be it Wordpress or any other CMS, your output for the visitor is always HTML. So there is no way to hide the HTML output.

Very useful informations.Thanks for sharing.

 

Can you show me any WP site that has used this trick?

I tested and it doesn't work at all. For me, it is total crap.

 

you cannot hide html source, it's like preventing from downloading an image where anyone can do a screenshot.
the same with html source, what's in my computer - it's already mine, whatever it is, image, sound... source code.
you can protect right click but that doesn't change anything for a web developer (ie. I can use shortcut to view source).
as for this link describing how to hide info about wp, you can do this trick but wordpress developer will still recognise the structure, for example I will open the style.css and find the theme definition there there are many ways for clever person on the other side...

 

Why wouldn't you want to let others know that you're using wordpress? It does not hurt in any way, it's a solid platform, and if you're selling the page to clients they will know anyway, so...

I only see a LOT of hassle coming with updates, plugin compatibility etc. etc...

don't do it!

Cheers.
