可以在Wordpress中混淆插件目录？

Question

Is it possible to rename or redirect the plugins/child[] directories to change plugin names for Google or source code view?

Wordpress obviously relies on wp-content and it's children to run, but I'm curious if it's possible to rename the children of plugins using .htaccess or another means.

I've experimented with variations this:

`Redirect 301 /path/to-old-url    http://www.yourdomain.com/path/to-new-url`

...but that comes back to an actual redirect header response which I can't have.

I'm hoping it can be done and still have Wordpress function and update themes and plugins normally, but I'm not that savvy using .htaccess and I've blanked my site several times trying different things.

Any pointers or help would be really appreciated. :)

EDIT: What I'm trying to do is change the visible plugin/child directory name only. Not change the directory Wordpress accesses for plugins/name - having the revised plugin/name visible is not a problem.

OK, add this in wp-config.php, and it should do what you need, replacing 'apps' with the directory you want to serve from, and moving the plugins to the same directory on the server.

define( 'WP_PLUGIN_DIR', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/apps' ); define( 'WP_PLUGIN_URL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/apps' );

Not really.

You could use this WP Hide & Security to hide the plugin path /wp-content/plugins/ and rewrite that to something else, e.g., /apps/ ...but the NAMES of the plugins would still be visible.

The only way I could think of not showing the plugin names would be to directly include them in your theme via php includes, and strip out all the css/js that the plugin adds and incorporate that into your theme.

However, that likely would break the plugin, and even if you could get it working correctly, there would be now way to update said plugin in the future....(and of course that would make your site terribly hard to support so it's not recommended at all.)
