 * I think someone else tried this once, I have no idea if they were successful.
 * You would have to rename core files to completely remove anything with wp_ in
   their names, and this is not recommended for anyone to do at all.

 * I think it’s more than just rename it. I think all files must be edited
    and 
   the wp- tags should be removed. But maybe someone already done it. So much sites
   got that already on their servers running without wp tags.
 * Please help!

 * Sorry but no-one is likely to be able to help – as soon as you start renaming
   things like that you run the risk of not being able to use WordPress at all.

 * Rich knows what he’s talking about. IMO, this isn’t worthwhile.
 * If you’re simply looking to hide that it’s WordPress, any semi-decent WP developer
   will recognize the file structures even if you rename them. And how about this…
   forget about any plugins working. Forget about auto-updates of WordPress. Forget
   about being able to use anyone else’s themes. Sounds like a party to me!
 * Lots of people build businesses using customized WordPress. Save yourself fruitless
   months of work and just try that.
