WP Ghost

What is WP Ghost?

WP Ghost is a WordPress hack prevention plugin that stops attacks before they start. It hides vulnerable paths, blocks automated bots with a 7G/8G Firewall, and hardens login security — reducing the attack surface so hackers and bots can't find or exploit your site.

What is WordPress hack prevention?

WordPress hack prevention means securing your site before an attack begins — hiding vulnerable paths, blocking automated bots, and removing the WordPress fingerprints hackers use to find and target sites. WP Ghost is built specifically for this proactive approach.

How does WP Ghost protect my WordPress site?

WP Ghost protects your site through three layers: Paths Security (hiding wp-admin, wp-login, plugins, and theme paths), Site Hardening (7G/8G Firewall, security headers, brute force protection, 2FA), and Automated Threat Neutralization (IP blocking, country blocking, security logs, and real-time alerts).

Is WP Ghost free?

Yes. WP Ghost has a permanently free version with 115+ features including the 7G/8G Firewall, path security, 2FA with passkeys, brute force protection, and security monitoring. Premium plans starting at $29.99/year add Country Blocking, full security logs, Ghost Mode, IP automation, and priority support.
