A while ago I wrote a short post about an easy way to remove the following code from the HEAD
of a WordPress blog:
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress [version number]" />
This included only the modification of the functions.php
file in your theme. But then it occurred to me that there should be now even an easier way — via a plugin. And there is such a plugin, indeed!
Remove-Generator-Meta-Tag WordPress Plugin
It’s very simple (one line of code, actually) and easy to activate & use. Simply upload to your ‘wp-content/plugins/’ directory and activate it via the WP Admin interface.
There are probably other similar plugins, but this one is the simplest I could find!
Enjoy! :-)
Thanks for mentioning my plugin on your blog. I appreciate it :-)
@George:
You’re welcome! :-) Your plugin is even easier to use than manually adding one line of PHP code to the
functions.php
theme file; I have used it in a couple of projects, when I needed to hide the WP version from the HTML source.
