Adding a Custom CMS Simulator

In this tutorial, you will learn how to simulate a custom CMS generator using the WP Ghost plugin in WordPress. This process helps to disguise your WordPress website by making it appear as a different CMS, such as Joomla or Drupal, or by using a custom generator name.

Set CMS Simulator in WP Ghost

  • First, activate WP Ghost in Safe Mode or Ghost Mode.
  • Click the Save button to apply the new paths.
  • From Emulate CMS, under the Safe Mode button, select one of the pre-defined options, such as Joomla or Drupal, from the dropdown.

Add a Custom Generator Name

If you want to use a custom generator name, follow these steps:

  1. Open your WordPress theme folder.
  2. Locate the functions.php file inside your theme directory (e.g., /wp-content/themes/your-theme/functions.php).
  3. Add the following code snippet at the end of the file:
add_filter('hmwp_emulate_cms', function(){
  return 'Custom Generator';
});
  1. Replace 'Custom Generator' with the name you want to display, e.g., 'Drupal' or 'MyCMS'.
  2. Save the file and upload it back to your server if necessary.
