WP Ghost vs Hide My WP (CodeCanyon) – What’s the Difference?
This tutorial has moved to the new WP Ghost Knowledge Base where each feature is presented in detail.
WP Ghost (formerly Hide My WP Ghost) and the CodeCanyon “Hide My WP” plugin are two separate products by different developers. Despite the similar names, WP Ghost offers significantly more features, broader plugin and server compatibility, and is available directly from the WordPress plugin directory with a free version.
WP Ghost includes 150+ premium features covering path security, 7G/8G firewall, brute force protection, two-factor authentication (including passkeys with Face ID and Touch ID), security headers, Text and URL Mapping, country blocking, security logs, and compatibility with all major plugins and server types. It’s built for the WordPress directory and designed to work for both experts and non-technical users with one-click security presets.
