I want to hide the theme I am using so that anyone looking under the hood won’t see it as a template. No offense to you guys at all, it is a great theme, but I want the client to not see I customized a theme purchase.

Any how-to or suggestions? I saw something mentioned somewhere here about it, but I can’t find it again.

Simply rename the theme folder, and edit the style.css to your new theme name.

This is described in the WordPress official docs (codex) which are a great resource for learning how WordPress works. 🙂

You might have to also use some kind of comment removal system or plugin; we use mod_pagespeed for that.

Note however the style classes are somewhat unique, so a savvy person could figure out which theme you’re using from that.
