Hiding Wordpress plugin & themes

From my post previously, wordpress plugin thief, you notice that you are able to view the plugins for other wordpress blog and this could actually be avoided, all you have to do is to create a blank index.html or index.htm file [suggested by Iz].

For those who do not know how could you create a blank html, here is some idea:-

  1. Open a blank text file
  2. Copy the following code
    <html>
    <head>
    </head><body>
    <br>
    <br>
    <div align=”center”>
    <strong>Invalid Page</strong>

    <a href=”http://www.wahlau.net”>Wahlau.NET</a>
    </div>
    </body>


    </html>

  3. Replace wahlau.net to your home link
  4. File name “index.html” [including the quote]
  5. Save as type > All files
  6. Then save and upload them to your wp-content/plugins and wp-content/themes/

      there’s easier way to do this, just turn off directory browsing. now you don’t have to put index.html in just about any folder you want.

      it’s not a loophole. and why would anyone want to hide the plugin they use.

      how do you turn off directory browsing?

      I would guess it is not a loophole, but you may just want to hide what plugins that you are currently using, or even theme too
