Never display security widget to non-admins
by andrebell82·3 weeks ago

Works well except for displaying the security widget to non-admins. This would be a five-star review if the plugin supported hiding security stats and access from non-admins. //shudder//
ChatGPT created two plugins using the code from the publisher’s ‘Remove Dashboard Scan widget’ page.
Plugin #1 removes the widget from all users.
Plugin #2 makes the widget available to admins only. I am now using the admin-only plugin. Works great. Non admin accounts no longer see the widget.
I will try to send the plugins to the author(s) to do whatever they want to do with those plugins. It is their code after all. Maybe they will incorporate the settings into a future release.

Very good plugin with outstanding customer service!

This plugin is very effective and performs well. Customer Support is highly responsive and willing to help and troubleshoot possible implementation obstacles.

Custome Login Url and Cloudflare
by fatihaker·1 year ago·1 reply

Hi,

Im using free version of your plugin. I set my custom login url. I also use cloudflare and secured my custom login page. But whenever a user logged out, custome url displays at the address bar. How I can hide it ?

Fantastic Plugin, Excellent Customer Service
by mfmuller·1 year ago

Aside from masking the fact that I am using a WordPress theme, I just feel better knowing that weirdos can’t sift through the code and steal stuff or cripple my site. I bought a single site WP-Hide Pro license to test it out but intend to upgrade to the developer version so I can use it on multiple sites.

By the way, WP-Hide’s technical/customer service is fantastic. My server runs on something called “Nginx” (whatever that means) so installing the plugin required an extra step or two — all of which the folks at WP-Hide handled entirely for me. They are fast, responsive, professional, and very helpful. I highly recommend both them and their great little plugin.

Fantastic plugin
by goldtecgimmer65·1 year ago

Great job, it’s a really fantastic plugin from a security point of view, but it also confuses your competitors about how a website has been built! Thanks.
