Do you know that we can see the lists of what plugins have been installed in our wordpress blo? Visitors can see them all by accessing http://www.wpblogname.com/wp-content/plugins. There’s a nice tips I’ve just read and it’s very simple to implement.

Log in to your blog cpanel and upload a blank file named index.php or index.html into your plugins directory. The blank file may contain some code like this:

<?php

?>

Don’t forget to save the file as index.php or index.html. From now on, when someone try to access the URL above, they will see only a blank page, nothing will be displayed. This tip is for security reason only. So, people won’t see what plugins are installed.

There’s also a good idea to redirect it to our blog homepage, then the code will be like this:

<?php

header(”Location:http://www.wpblogname.com/”);

?>

If you want some more privacy, you can also upload this file into wp-content/themes and wp-content/uploads directory with the same results. I’ve found this in a few professional wordpress blogs. We can see the list of themes installed under the themes folder and a list of uploaded files under uploads folder. It’s not a good thing to show it to everyone, right.

That’s all.
