Hide My WP Ghost Reviews & Product Details

What I like most about using Hide My WP Ghost is that I can replace my existing security plugin (WordFence) and improve the hardening of my website. Hide My WP Ghost let me make more security changes to the site WordFence didn't such as changing the login URL, hiding the fact my site is built with WordPress, hiding themes and plugins etc. It's really easy to use and I feel that my site is better protected now I am using Hide My WP Ghost. I did have one issue where the site looked a bit messed up after logging out. I discovered that the caching SiteGround caching plugins were causing the issue there. When I contacted support, they replied back within 24hrs and that is for the free version. I've only just started using Hide My WP Ghost but everything has been great so far :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I have had is when I integrated V3 ReCaptcha. This isn't so much the fault of Hide My WP Ghost but ReCaptcha. I was locked out of my site so I had to disable all plugins, get back in and remove the V3 ReCaptcha for a more simple math puzzle instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the past, I used a similar product (I bought it on the Envato market), but it didn't satisfy my needs. However, I decided to buy the Pro version of this plugin and didn't regret it. This one just works. It's relatively simple to set up (easy integration), and it has many security features except just hiding some WP traces. Customer support is also top-notch.

I highly recommend it to everyone who uses WordPress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very simple to configure, reliable and it offers plenty of functionalities. Moreover, the team is very responsive and fast in replying to my supper inquiries Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The plugin can be improved with some more active-security functionalities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The plugin is pretty easy to use and to set up. You can even export and import your settings to other sites on other domains. Beyond that what makes Hide My WP Ghost really outstanding is, the support. They have made that plugin within a couple days completely ready for my Bedrock WP infrastructure that's absolutely amazing. Great product and support way beyond all expectations. Thank you guys!

This is not the fault of Hide My WP Ghost, but if you change settings you always have to reload your nginx server (if you are on nginx). I think on Apache / LiteSpeed it's easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While, ultimately, I needed to deactivate the Ghost on my site, the support I received from Peter and the developers at Ghost was exceptional. They went above and beyond to get the plugin working on my quirky site, even offering to implement all the redirects in my WPEngine account (since WPEngine doesn't always play nice out of the box with Ghost) and run testing to make sure all was working as it should. They mentioned they might have to charge for the work, but didn't, even though I know it took them hours. So generous. Great team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It just didn't work on my particular site configuration. I have no complaints about the plugin, which seems extremely comprehensive and well-developed, or the support, which was incredible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using Wordfence Free version for security but it was insufficient and my site will get Malware from time to time. I try Hide WP Ghost and it worked well for me. I am glad that i have this plugin in my site. The feature i loved is “Temporary Login” and ‘Limit Password attempt” . it is cost effective and it is much more cheaper than other security plugin that i Wanted to buy. The developer of this Plugin also has a great track record of creating great software tool . Keep it up Team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I need to spend some time to learn about how to operate this plugin, I dont understand the logic behind the software, I hope there is more Tutorial or Guide to help the New user to learn about this plugin Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a software engineer for a middlewear J2EE web server in my day job, I fully understand the complexity of securing a website. I don't use a common admin account name, enforce 2FA, and block access from any foreign IP addresses and that has reduced the amount of bot etc activity significantly. But, I still saw room for improvement with relocating the login URL etc and WP Ghost makes that easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to accomplish website security without a lot of changes to the backend server config and that makes this a more complex plugin than some WP users may be used to. It's understandable but I would just say never stop looking for ways to further simplify the interface, the process, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you have ever had a WordPress website hacked, you can understand how painful and time-consuming it is to recover and restore the site. Most WordPress sites that are hacked are discovered with scanning bots. These scanning bots are looking for "low-hanging fruit" websites that can easily be compromised and accessed. Hide My WP Ghost gets you off the scanning bots radar! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't any real thing to dislike about something that protects you and your sites. I wear a seat belt whenever I drive. Some may find it restrictive and slows them down a bit. Same thing with Hide My WP Ghost, sure it is another plugin, but I haven't seen any speed decrease on any of my sites, and it is a snap to install and setup.

Provides functionality that should be standard in WordPress in this day and age. The ability to obfuscate the type of system being used is fundamentally important for securing your site. Though security through obscurity only protects you from casual intruders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As mentioned above security by obscurity is only one facet of protecting WordPress sites. In order to better secure the sites for my client, I needed to implement additional security measures such as MFA through another plugin. It would be nice if that was an additional feature.

It is an amazing plugin with a lot of settings. with this plugin I could really feel that I was making a huge difference in the security of the website. Also, I could feel very safe changing the settings because this plugin has a very safe way to roll back if something goes wrong on the website. I highly recommend this plugin, the best security plugin I have ever used! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see more tutorial videos about the features and especially the incompatibilities with the most popular plugins! Only that! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
