Hide My WP Ghost is not meant to be an all-in-one security plugin, and we don’t intend to replace the other security plugins out there. Our purpose is to add an extra layer of protection, in order to prevent hacking attempts.
Hide My WP Ghost is compatible with Wordfence, and you can safely use the two together.
Hide My WP Ghost will complement Wordfence by offering an extra layer of protection that the other doesn’t offer.
With Hide My WP Ghost you prevent attacks from happening, by hiding vulnerabilities in themes, WP core, and plugins. Hackers and hacker bots can’t attack what they can’t find.
This offers an extra layer of protection that you don’t get from other plugins, because those focus on helping you while you are attacked and after you were attacked, by cleaning files, detecting malware, injections, etc.
With Hide My WP Ghos,t you can avoid getting injections in the first place.
To learn more about the advantages of using the two plugins together and the settings we recommend activating when using Hide My WP Ghost alongside Wordfence, check out this resource:

Hope this helps but let me know if you have any other questions.
