Remove the WordPress Version Generator

When 2.5.0 was released, the WordPress version generator was moved from being in the template itself into being a wp_head() hook instead. The hook is automatically added so you don’t have as much control over it.

If you want to remove the version:

meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.8.4"

Add this piece of code to your functions.php file in your theme:

[sourcecode]
remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_generator’);
[/sourcecode]

That bit of code will stop WordPress from adding the WordPress version generator to your source code.

For plugins related to the “version,” you can look on wordpress.org.

It’s a simple, yet effective tutorial, on achieving what you want to get done.
