## Description

Ben Word originally meant to “hide” the fact that you’re using WordPress. There 
are currently a few things missing from this plugin that really enforce that, but
I didn’t want to make too many decisions on a user’s behalf. If recommend moving
your uploads folder if you’re comfortable with that.

## Installation

There are no special installation instructions. Install as you would install any
other plugin and activate in the plugins menu. There are currently no options to
configure after installation. You may want to edit your theme files to point to 
the root-relative URLs after installation. The root relative URLs are particularly
useful for people starting from scratch with new themes.

## FAQ

  What exactly does this plugin do?

 1. Hides the `wp-content` folder by rewriting URLs
 2. Gives you a “walker” class, `roots_nav_walker` to process custom navigation menus
 3. Makes all root-relative URLs

  What gives? Ben’s post cleans `wp_head` and changes the uploads folder to `assets`!

That’s fine for them. I didn’t want to make any decisions about where the assets
folder should be for an unsuspecting person who may have been using WordPress for
some time. Cleaning `wp_head` sounds good in practice and I’m sure there’s some 
stuff in there that most people don’t need, but there’s a reason it got so messy
in the first place.
