Is it possible to hide WP codes from page source?
I wouldnt want others to know I am using WP as my CMS, so I assume I will have to rename all those wp-admin, wp-content, themes folders etc.

Is that possible? Thanks

    It will be a long and tedious process as the feature is not in-built. You can easily change the Uploads folder. For hiding the meta creator tag, you can use WordPress SEO or other plugin. All the best.

    If you are concerned about your end user you can also use one of the two plugins below. One is free and the other is paid. I've used the paid solution on one of my sites. It's pretty robust to the point that it can be a little confusing to setup. You can give them both a try here:

    Why wouldn't you want to let others know that you're using wordpress? It does not hurt in any way, it's a solid platform, and if you're selling the page to clients they will know anyway, so...

    I only see a LOT of hassle coming with updates, plugin compatibility etc. etc...

    don't do it!

    Cheers,
