What Is WLW Manifest?

The WLW (Windows Live Writer) Manifest script is a feature in WordPress that supports the Windows Live Writer software. This tool is outdated and rarely used today.

If you are not using Windows Live Writer, the WLW manifest script becomes unnecessary and should be removed for the following reasons:

  1. Security Improvement – Removing this script prevents revealing that your website is powered by WordPress, reducing potential attack vectors.
  2. Performance Optimization – Eliminating unnecessary scripts improves page loading times.

This tutorial explains how to disable the WLW Manifest script using WP Ghost for a leaner and more secure website.

Hide WLW Manifest Scripts

  1. Go to WP Ghost > Tweaks > Hide Options.
  2. Switch on the Hide WLW Manifest Scripts option to remove the WordPress Windows Live Writer manifest script in the frontend.
  3. Click the Save button to apply the changes.

Disabling the WLW Manifest script in WP Ghost is a quick and effective way to enhance your WordPress website’s security and performance.
