WP Ghost is tested and compatible with over 1,000 WordPress plugins and themes. This page lists the plugins we’ve specifically tested and verified. If a plugin you use isn’t on this list, it doesn’t mean there’s an incompatibility – WP Ghost doesn’t physically change any files, so most plugins work without any issues. Compatibility challenges typically only arise with cache plugins, page builders, and other security plugins that modify .htaccess or interact with the login process. Lite Mode is compatible with virtually all plugins. Ghost Mode may require testing with plugins that hardcode wp-admin or admin-ajax.php paths.
WP Ghost is optimized to work with all major caching and performance plugins. If custom paths don’t appear in cached pages, enable Change Paths in Cached Files or try changing the Plugin Loading Hook.
WP Ghost works alongside other security plugins. They handle different protection layers – WP Ghost focuses on reducing the attack surface through path security, while other plugins handle malware scanning, threat intelligence, and post-breach detection.
WP Ghost is fully compatible with WooCommerce and its ecosystem. Cart, checkout, product pages, customer accounts, and AJAX-powered features all work normally with path security enabled.
WP Ghost’s path changes don’t affect SEO. Public page URLs, sitemaps, canonical tags, and meta data are not modified. All SEO plugins work normally.
WP Ghost works with all major page builders and themes. If you experience editor issues after activating Ghost Mode, the editor may be hardcoding admin-ajax.php paths. Switch to Lite Mode or leave admin-ajax.php at its default to resolve.
BulletProof Security: This plugin removes all custom rules from .htaccess when its settings are saved. To avoid conflicts, install BulletProof Security first, then install WP Ghost. After that, don’t re-save BulletProof Security settings, as it will remove WP Ghost’s rewrite rules. Alternatively, enable Add Rewrites in WordPress Rules Section to protect WP Ghost’s rules from being removed.
ManageWP Worker: ManageWP loads as a Must Use plugin and can conflict with WP Ghost’s initialization. Set WP Ghost’s Plugin Loading Hook to Must Use Plugin for seamless integration.
NitroPack / Rabbit Loader: These cloud-based optimization services may need additional configuration to work with custom paths since they process HTML at the CDN level. Enable Change Paths in Cached Files and verify paths appear correctly in the optimized output.
General compatibility tip: If any plugin causes issues after activating WP Ghost, try Lite Mode first (compatible with virtually all plugins). If the issue is specific to Ghost Mode, leave wp-admin and admin-ajax.php at their default paths. Most compatibility issues are resolved with these two steps.
Most likely yes. WP Ghost doesn’t physically change any files. It uses rewrite rules that only affect how URLs are served to browsers. Plugins that operate in the WordPress admin area, process data on the server, or use standard WordPress APIs work without any issues. The only plugins that might need attention are those that modify .htaccess, interact with the login process, or hardcode WordPress paths.
Switch to Lite Mode and test. If the issue resolves, the conflict is with Ghost Mode’s wp-admin or admin-ajax.php path changes. If the issue persists in Lite Mode, use the Safe URL parameter to temporarily bypass WP Ghost and identify the specific setting causing the conflict. You can also contact WP Ghost support and we’ll investigate.
Yes. Contact us with the plugin name and URL. We test and update compatibility regularly.
No. WP Ghost uses server rewrite rules and WordPress hooks. No files are moved, renamed, or modified. This is why compatibility with other plugins is generally excellent – WP Ghost doesn’t interfere with how other plugins access files or process data.
