Q: Is it possible to hide the front-end through WP Security Ninja?
I'm looking for a more "friendly" way of having my WP set only as a headless CMS (for media basically) and althought I managed to decouple the front-end, it feels very "hacky".
Does this app touch anything similar to this?
Thanks!

Jul 7, 2025A: Hello rheavictor, thank you for asking!
WP Security Ninja is designed to secure traditional WordPress sites where both the front-end and back-end are active. It does not include any features to hide or disable the frontend, and it's not built to work in a headless environment. Since the plugin relies on reading and writing data to validate requests and monitor activity, it will not function properly if WordPress is only used as a headless CMS or media backend.
If you're running WordPress in a headless setup, Security Ninja won't provide its intended benefits, and you may want to look into server-level security or other solutions specifically designed for API-only or headless environments, sorry.
Hope this helps clarify! If you have any other questions about Security Ninja, feel free to ask.
