Setup Hide My WP Ghost with Advanced Access Manager

The Advanced Access Manager is a great plugin which lets you customize the users rights when it comes to access the backend of your website.

It’s also a good security plugin which protects your personal information when you want to limit the access to developers who sometimes have to work on your live website.

We tested Hide My WP Ghost together with AAM plugin and we noticed that with small adjustments, the two plugins are working beautifully together.

AAM plugin recommends you to add some rewrite rules into the .htaccess file. All you need to do is to change the old WP path with the new Hide My WP Ghost path and that’s all:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(jpg|jpeg|png|svg|gif|ico|pdf|doc|docx|ppt|pptx|pps|ppsx|odt|xls|xlsx|psd)$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} wp-content/uploads/(.*)$
    RewriteRule . /index.php?aam-media=1 [L]
</IfModule>

to

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(jpg|jpeg|png|svg|gif|ico|pdf|doc|docx|ppt|pptx|pps|ppsx|odt|xls|xlsx|psd)$
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} storage/(.*)$
    RewriteRule . /index.php?aam-media=1 [L]
</IfModule>

Where storage is the custom wp-content/uploads path you set in Hide My Wp Ghost. If you use another path for uploads, please replace wp-content/uploads with your custom path.
