    Hey there, thank you so very much for the hard work you’re doing in order to help us not only to protect versus attacks, but what is at least as important, protect our product (themes / plugins) choices from competitors (few people think of that!).

    I am just getting started, it’s not working very well for me and I may know why, but this is not the point of this current message.

    I wanted to know if there is any tutorial or walkthrough besides the docs, because I don not understand if I have to really create folders and rename stylesheet files in order for the plugin rewrites (themes, styles etc) to connect with them and work?

    Because I’m doing a simple test in renaming the theme only via the plugin, and theme detectors have no problem detecting the original theme.

    Otherwise I’ve made a “full” theme rewrite (filled all fields) in order to do a full test on theme, and it messes all my styles etc. So that is why I am asking if we need to really create those folders and place stylesheets withnew names before telling the plugin those names…

    I hope I made a point ?? not easy to explain…

    Hi,
    To better understand all plugin options, please make sure you read the documentation articles at WP Hide Documentation
    There’s no requirements on folders / files creation or rename, everything is applied dynamically through the server rewrite engine.
    Many WordPress detectors actually use cache, meaning if you do a change on your site and check again, it will just use the cached html instead the new data set. So ensure you use another url (e.g. an inner page which you din’t checked) or wait some hours for the cache to expire.
    If you turned on all options for Theme tab, and the front layout brooked, this may be caused by the theme relative paths within css files (see https://www.wp-hide.com/new-style-file-path-along-with-internal-relative-urls/ for more details).

    Thanks

    hello tdgu,

    Thank you very much fore your answer… I thought I understood that by “surfing” your docs, but what happens to me is that as soon as I start setting the style sheet Rewrites, my site’s frontend seems to “lose” it and therefore gets messed up. That is why I thought Css styles for example needed to point to real copies with new custom names…

    Any idea of what is happening to me? I can’t find an answer ??

    Cheers!

    Wait… Is it possible that the plugin somehow needs to “settle in” a bit? Because now, apparently (really did not do anything) it seems to be suddenly effectively applying theme rewrites and successfully hiding it from theme detectors… ?? ??

    Actually it can be your browser cache which still use previous css, making some of resources unavailable anymore.
    So whenever you do a change, you can try to clear your browser cache which expel such an issue.

    Thanks

    Thanks a lot tdgu…

    Trying to reproduce all as per this successful test in another site and again my styles get messed… Tried to clear browser’s, server’s, Wp’s caches (where applicable) and nothing, still “messes” up my frontend. ??

    Just using the Theme Rewrite Options right now, just as in the other site that got “magically fixed” (I had cleared everything one time and again on that one too when performing tweaks)…

    Thank you

    Problem solved. Apparently there was some incompatibility going on with my theme.

    Again thank you so much for all you guys are doing, for FREE! I’ve tried another (very) popular WP “hider” (PAID!) and could not ever make it work decently, and besides requirements too complicated and beyond what my hosting provider allows me to do…

    Cheers!
