Dear team,

Is it possible to change the template folder name so it would not be recognized by online template detection tools? My hosting service believes if it's harder for people to find out which template I am using, it would be also a bit harder for them to use possible known security issues with that particular template. Right now any moron can simply check and say what I am using which I think would be good to have it masked.

Please let me know you insights on this,
Thanks,

Hi

Easiest is to unzip template package, edit xml file, change title name in this file and pack it again. During installation template will install under a folder made with new name.

PS: in some cases it's good to also change names of language files in /language folder to avoid untranslated elements.
