Q: I already have Sucuri Security Pro.

Is it still worth getting this plugin? Will there be conflicts & problems?
Would this add to my Sucuri Security experience?
Or not required to buy? Would like to have both working at the same time for ultimate security if they both play nicely together.

A: Hey, Sumo-ling! Thank you for your question.

Hide My WP Ghost will complement Sucuri by offering an extra layer of protection that the other doesn’t offer:

With Hide My WP Ghost you prevent attacks from happening, by hiding vulnerabilities in themes, WP core and plugins.

Hackers and hacker bots can’t attack what they can’t find.

It does a bit more, as you will see on the Features list: https://hidemywpghost.com/hide-my-wp-ghost-security-features/

This offers an extra layer of protection that you don’t get from other plugins, because those focus on helping you while you are attacked and after you were attacked, by cleaning files, detecting malware, injections etc.

With Hide My WP Ghost, you can avoid getting injections in the first place.

Even if both plugins are considered WordPress Security plugins, Sucuri Security and Hide My WP Ghost work together to add TWO DIFFERENT KINDS of security layers on your websites by stopping the hackers’ attacks and preventing data loss.

You can learn more about using Hide My WP Ghost with Sucuri here:

Hope this helps.

A: Hey, Sumo-ling! Thank you for your interest in Hide My WP Ghost.

On AppSumo, access is for Lifetime (and support IS included in this lifetime deal, whether you get 1, 2, or 3 codes). The only way to lose access is if you refund.

Yes, this works with cpanel server.

Tutorial to set up the Hide My WP Ghost for Nginx server: https://hidemywpghost.com/how-to-setup-hide-my-wp-on-nginx-server/ (you need to be able to contact the host to add the hidemywp.conf in the nginx.conf file)

For Apache, it's all good.

We haven't tested wp-ultimo just yet. However, we've tested Hide My WP Ghost with over 1.000 plugins and themes, and we're always adding more to the list. Compatibility issues are unlikely, especially if you use Safe mode from Hide My WP Ghost.

Compatibility problems were fixed for:

- Builders
- Server hosting
- Cache Plugins
- Security Plugins

We fixed for those, because that's where most issues were found in the past and we keep working on making it more compatible with them.

Hope this helps.

A: Hey, Selly, thank you for your question.

We don't currently offer the option to disable right-click based on user roles, but if that's something that will be useful to you, I would be happy to add it to our Roadmap and see if others would find this valuable as well.

Just let me know by replying to this comment, and I can add this for you. :)

However, there are other settings that you can make based on user roles. For example, you have the option to select the user roles for whom to hide the Admin Toolbar.

More about this here: https://hidemywpghost.com/kb/activate-security-tweaks/#admin_toolbar

Hope this helps, but let me know if you have other questions.

Q: Howdy!

I notice that Gravity Forms is not listed on your compatibility list. Are there know issues with GF and/or any of it's free or premium plugins? I bring it up because the list specifically mentions Contact From 7 & Ninja Forms and Gravity Forms's absence rang bells for me.

We've tested with all of these over time, but it's important to specify that not all tests were for the latest versions of the plugins and themes you mentioned here.

If you notice any compatibility issues, please contact us, and we will work to make Hide My WP Ghost compatible with it. We're constantly testing Hide My WP Ghost with more plugins and themes.

Q: I have a question.

If I buy 1 code and use it on ten sites, can I disable this Wordpress plugin on one of the sites to use it on another? Can I stop using the plugin on one site so I can use it on another site that interests me more? Forgive my mistakes when expressing myself in English, because I am Spanish.

10 websites < this refers to active installs (maximum numbers of sites on which you can use the plugin AT THE SAME TIME).

So, yes, you will be able to remove a website from your account if you stop using Hide My WP Ghost on that site, which will free up space for a new website.

Hope this helps but let me know if you have any other questions.

For Kinsta Nginx Hosting, you need to be able to contact the host to add the hidemywp.conf in the nginx.conf file for your site.

We have customers who use Hide My WP Ghost with Kinsta hosting, but it does require you to contact support and for them to be willing to make the changes in the nginx.conf file.

Q: Are all settings reversible?

Will say, if there is a conflict with other plugins etc. and if I deactivate "hide my ghost" will this be resetted all to the default WordPress settings?

What, if I can't login (imagine I forgot the path or password etc.) how can I login? Do you have a secret link? Or will it be enough to deactivate your plugin via FTP?

A: Hey, Sumo-ling! We appreciate your interest in Hide My WP Ghost.

Yes, all settings are reversible. When you Deactivate the plugin, then all settings will revert and when you delete the plugin, it will be like it was never there in the first place. Your site will be returned to its exact state before Hide My WP Ghost was installed.

When activating either Safe Mode or Ghost mode, you will be asked to perform a test (enables you to check website functionality from a preview popup). If you notice any issues at this point, you can abort.

You will also receive a SAFE URL. You can simply copy the safe URL to be able to login if there is a compatibility issue.

You can learn more about this process here: https://hidemywpghost.com/kb/hide-my-wp-ghost-tutorial/

Hope this helps but let me know if you have any other questions.

Q: I see many questions posted after my question have been answered, but mine is still held in moderation.

I don't believe I said or asked anything that is problematic. Here it is again in case it was missed:

Hello HMWP Ghost team, I bought 3 codes a couple of days ago and I am loving your plugin so far. I count just over 100 little features, switches or inputs which give us great control over configuration to make sure the site is as protected as possible while avoiding conflicts... this is a fantastic plugin. While there may be alternatives out there with some of the same features (perhaps even free), you plugin provides a very comprehensive feature set, all under one roof with a great UI/UX to make life very easy for just a couple of hundred bucks... thank you.

Oops, sorry, what I have written so far probably should have been in the review section. Now for my question: Where is the Events Log stored? I see your KB indicates "Data will be saved in your Cloud account for 30 Days..." so I believe there will always be a 30-day version of the logs on your server, which is awesome. Is the version shown in the plugin on our site another copy of it in our database? If so, I don't see any options for controlling how long the logs are kept for or deleting old logs. Is this available anywhere since this can grow to be a very large table in our database. Any guidance on this topic will be appreciated.

Q: I saw that the roadmap says that the compability with EWWW and SWIS Perfomance is possible.

But in my tests, everything that is mirrored to the CDN still contains the original paths (even after using Ghost mode). As EWWW and SWIS Perfomance is a popular plugin on AppSumo. Will this be fixed?

A: Hey, Sumo-ling! Thank you so much for your interest in Hide My WP Ghost.

After doing a quick research, I saw that there are several features that Hide My WP Ghost and clearfy both offer like: enabling you to hide the login page and giving you the ability to hide your wordpress footprint (not exactly sure HOW clearfy does this, as I haven't got the chance to test it).

Another thing that I noticed is that the tool you mentioned has a lot of coming soon features that Hide My WP Ghost already offers, like:

- set a limit of login attempts
- block ip address to control upcoming traffic
- security recommendations allowing you to protect your website from attacks.

Hope this helps, but let me know if you have any other questions.
