 * You’re awesome Raul, thank you so much! I promise I will be careful :). I did
   a dry run with the above suggested fix and it will solve the integration problem
   with WP Hide.
 * Thanks again.

 * Thanks Raul for sharing your opinion on security thru obfuscation. There is definitely
   two large camps on both sides but have decided to go with it anyways… plus I 
   get nicer URLs :). So your 301 redirect option will not “hide” the wp-based URLs
   but just require an extra hop.
 * As for your whitelisting option, it is a good suggestion that I have not considered
   yet, thank you. First thing that comes to my mind is that WP Hide plugin unfortunately
   does not support such an option and I will have to request it on their side to
   block except certain IP addresses. It seems like it will be a bigger change than
   what I have requested from you below.
 * Alternatively I was hoping that you concerned my one-liner code change which 
   would resolve issue and introduce a (backwards-compatible) optional filter that
   developers can take advantage to control URLs prior to your fetch; i.e.
 * `$hurl = apply_filters('fvm_get_url', $hurl);` added at the end of your `fastvelocity_min_get_hurl`
   function. I can take advantage of this new *feature* and rewrite the URLs using
   the filter hook. Please do consider it!
 * Thank you very much!

 * No worries, thank you for replying!
 * That is correct, FVM is unable to merge the files properly because it is failing
   at the step where it fetches the contents of the CSS/JS files. FVM is trying 
   to fetch the CSS/JS files under the original URL formats (which have been blocked)
   vs the new mapped URL formats created by WP Hide.
 * For example, prior to configuring my WP Hide plugin, my URLs look like [http://domain.com/wp-content/themes/my-theme/foo.css](http://domain.com/wp-content/themes/my-theme/foo.css).
   With WP Hide configured, my URLs now look like [http://domain.com/theme/foo.css](http://domain.com/theme/foo.css)
   because I mapped /wp-content/themes/my-theme/ to /theme/. (This mapping simplifies
   URL structure and hides ‘wp-content’ which exposes knowledge of WordPress.) In
   addition to the mapping, WP Hide can also block accessing the file using the 
   original urls just in case someone wants to probe wordpress directory/files.
 * When FVM attempts to fetch CSS files, it is trying to fetch using the the original
   URL /wp-content/themes/… path which is blocked. With a strategic filter option(
   e.g. `fvm_get_url`) in the right place, we can assist FVM by transforming/mapping
   the fetch URLs for these kind of scenarios.
 * I hope this makes more sense. Let me know if you would like me to elaborate more.
 * Thanks!

 * Hey [@alignak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alignak/). I know it is a 
   feature request but I would appreciate some feedback or thoughts on my suggested
   approach above. Do you like the suggestion or do you have an alternative? Are
   you willing to implement it and if so, then I would appreciate a potential timeline
   when to expect it?
 * Currently I have the custom `apply_filters` hardcoded into your plugin codebase
   but I am hesitant to keep it long-lived.
 * Thanks so much!

 * Thanks Tony for pointing out an alternative option available in the Pro version.
 * I had another use case for re-scanning remote storage. I directly prefer to delete
   and add backups directly in my Google Drive. I have done this and now my backup
   list is out of sync. I now realize I cannot directly make my changes thru Google
   Drive.
 * Thanks

 * Thanks Tony for replying.
 * I have tried what you have suggested multiple times and it did not resolve my
   issue. I even installed the plugin on a different WordPress installation on my
   local machine and I experienced the same issue.

 * During an online search, I had stumbled upon couple sites discussing Clearfy 
   and they had mentioned such a feature. I now realize those sites are not official.
   Please ignore my comment.
 * Thank you for verifying that there is no such feature. Your plugin is awesome
   and comprehensive… that is why I am surprised you have not covered this simple
   use-case. One can simply remove the canonical link with the code….
 * `remove_action('wp_head', 'rel_canonical');`
 * Please consider of adding this option in Clearfy… Thanks!
