Support » Plugin: Hide My WP Ghost - Security Plugin » Changes in GODADDY security – plugin has to be deactivated

    Hi

    When I logon as the ADMIN (with Hide my WP active), I get to the dashboard and when I try any menu option, I get a message that says:

    “You don’t have permission to access /<hidden>/edit.php on this server”

    Spoke to GODADDY about this and they said that they are rolling out new changes to their security procedures, and now have tighter controls on their core permissions.

    They suggested I send you a message, and that if you need information, you should reach out to them for details.

    Can you please assist – since all GODADDY hosting clients who use your plugin will be affected at some point.

    The only way that I can access the WP admin features is to deactivate your plugin.

    Thanks

    Hi Jordani,

    I see, thank you for letting us know about this.

    What if you left wp-admin unchanged and change the other paths?

    wp-admin will be hidden from visitors/hackers and accessible only to the logged in users.

    Once I use the DISABLE code that you provide – everything works properly.

    At this point I have not played with the various fields to determine which one works and which one causes problems.

    Hi,

    We will test the plugin with Godaddy these days and see how we can adapt the plugin settings in order to work out of the box.

    Let me know if you have any question.
