Thanks for the comment. I have been keeping the post updated since I wrote it, and also wrote an FAQ based on all the comments. It's amazing how many hits it gets, and I know people get really stuck with this and have some urgency, so I try to be responsive. I might make a little video! I also am in the process of writing a post about how to migrate WordPress from one server to another using BackupBuddy. That’s awesome, Daniel. Thanks for the comment.

You can tell how good a post it is by how many comments it receives WAY after it's been posted! You wrote this a year ago people are making use of the info to this day! This guide really freed me up with a client; thanks again. Angela, great post, really, thank you very much.

So, I wouldn't take the chances. It's so easy for bots to find out "where" WP is installed, that it's hard to totally obscure it and your site, if it gets hacked, is going to get hacked via a plugin or theme NOT WP core. The best you can do for security purposes is to be cautious about what plugins you install, keep everything updated all the time, and do regular backups of your database and wp-content folder using a plugin such as BackupBuddy (my affiliate link: http://askwpgirl.com/go/backupbuddy.php). Glad the process worked!
