How to hide Wordpress details from view source cod

Question

I have a wordpress site ,but when I Press Ctrl+U I can see all the site information's about my site(themes,wp-content,etc). But I saw one site http://www.indiavisiontv.com/ . when I press Ctrl+U we get a source code page that doesn't reveal so much things. How they do that.

Answer 1

The website you have mentioned (indiavision) is using w3 total cache to minify the css and js hence you can't see the typical source (I was still able to locate 'wp-content' in source though).

You can use Hide my wp to hide your wordpress instance completely. It includes following abilities:

1. Ability to hide both http://yoursite.com/wp-login.php page and http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/ area.
2. Ability to remove auto generated feed from header.
3. Ability to clean automatic classess added by wordpress (won’t recommend this personally)
4. Ability to disallow direct access to php files (except the ones in wp-admin)
5. Ability to change pagination url.
6. Ability to disable Archives.
7. Ability to completely disable queries for taxonomies, comments and attachments.

You can hide WordPress in a few ways. http://www.graemeboy.com/how-to-hide-that-you-use-wordpress

Removing the generator tag is a big one that some security plugins do to help with random searching for outdated installs to hack. You can also rename the directories that give WP away.

If you are new to php and mod_rewrite i suggest so you check with the section of my response. Or if you keen to try it yourself, you can use something like this to hide the wp-content/plugins path structure:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^modules/(.*) /wp-content/plugins/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

This will change the path to /modules . Apply something similar to other structure, you may need some advanced rewrites, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html

If prefer something out of the box, there re few interesting plugins, some commercial, also free at WordPress repository, i suggest to try WP Hide & Security Enhancer.
