   Sometimes it fascinates me how many details can be done, e.g. in terms of security, that I would not have thought of. So I removed the Wordpress version from the website according to your instructions.

   function wpbeginner_remove_version()
   what should we write instead of “wpbeginner” _remove_version?
   a specific file name or our website name or what?

   • WPBeginner Support

     You do not need to change wpbeginner in the function name.

     This is to remove the version number from the HTML header, if you want to remove the text that you are using WordPress then you would want to reach out to your specific theme’s support.

   Will this prevent Wordpress from auto-detect and notify me about new versions, so that i can update? Thanks

   Yanıtla

   • WPBeginner Support

     No it won’t. We do not recommend you to disable updates. Keeping your WordPress site up to date protects your site from security vulnerabilities. Please see our guide on why you should always use the latest version of WordPress.

   Hello,

   The functions.php is in my theme or in wp-includes, I have 2 files.
   Tx !!

   Yanıtla

   • WPBeginner Support

     The functions.php file in your theme is where you can add custom codes. You should never edit files in wp-includes folder.

    For those like me who have read this to the bottom looking for a definitive answer only to be left wanting despite all the possibilities no one has Identified a solution that works for everyone.

    I suggest you load WordPress in Wamp or similar and check every possibility.

    The Right Way To Remove WordPress Version Number?

    why so complicated? make it easy:
    // remove wp version
    add_filter(‘the_generator’, ‘__return_false’);

    If I’m using a a premium theme and the developer who keeps updating it, do I need to worry about this issue?

    What do you think to using the following in functions.php?
    remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_generator’);

    Yanıtla

15. cantor

    this does nothing, I can still get the version number using fingerprinting….

    Yanıtla

16. Dan

    Maybe I’m missing something here, but adding the filter does remove the version number but fails to remove it from the end of some of the styles sheets and a few .js files as well from plugins. i.e.

    ….css?ver=3.8.1′ type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />

    Anyway to remove those as well?

    Thanks

    Hi

    none of these methods work with WP 3.8/ RC2

    I put the code:

    function wpbeginner_remove_version() {
    return ”;
    }
    add_filter(‘the_generator’, ‘wpbeginner_remove_version’);

    in the bottom of my functions.php file. No effect.

    Here is a sample of the scripts loading when I look at the source code, and you can see the wp ver is still tacked onto the end….

    I tried some of the other code suggestions in this thread, and none of them worked either.

    Perhaps I am doing something wrong?

    Many thank in advance for your suggestions.

    As you can see it is still showing at the end of each.

        Nope. It’s not working. Still sitecheck.sucuri.net show me that admin file,

        Web application version:
        WordPress version: WordPress
        Wordpress Version 3.6.1 based on: http://www.mydomain.com//wp-admin/js/common.js

    One should also delete readme.html in the root of the website because it contains WP version number.

    Yanıtla

21. Madona

    There is a plugin for that. Very simple > http://wordpress.org/plugins/db-prefix-change/installation/

    Yanıtla

    • Dave

      That plugin doesn’t remove the version number. It changes the prefix (wp_) for the database tables.

      Yanıtla

22. Dave

    It should also be mentioned that if you want to hide the number, you should also get rid of the readme.html file that accompanies WordPress, as it displays the version in big giant numbers right at the top of the page. Last I read, it also hides in a JavaScript file somewhere as well, but I’m not sure which one.

    I use this to remove the WordPress version.

    ‘remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_generator’); // Remove WordPress version from site’

    Yanıtla

24. Travis Smith

    A cleaner way is just this:
    add_filter( 'the_generator', '__return_null' );

    Yanıtla

    • Alex

      WHERE DO I ADD THIS add_filter( ‘the_generator’, ‘__return_null’ ); in functions.php WHERE
      WHICH LINE?!

      Yanıtla

      • Editorial Staff

        Add it in line 1. As long as it is not part of another function, then it would work.

    This is arguably on of the most useful code snippets ever. Plugins break so this is a perfect way to remove the generator meta tag from WordPress.

       @mrahmadawais Because we keep the most updated version running.

27. techispot

    Sorry to say it is not working with feed, I means it not remove version number from feed, I personally add the function you specified , it remove from my home page source but not from rss page source, you can view my rss page source it is still there http://www.techispot.com/feed

    Any one find solution please share

    Yanıtla

28. brasofilo

    i wanted to keep the generator without the version number, so i’m returning instead of an empty string…

    is this correct?

    Yanıtla

29. Nacin

    Removing the generator code has nothing to do with security, frankly. If someone is targeting your site in particular, there are other effective ways to determine a version number. If it’s just a malicious script, it’s going to try every exploit that has ever worked regardless of your version. Indeed, we have never seen an exploit script attempting to do version detection.

    Also, the statement “While plugins are great, they somewhat slow your site down,” is a bit misleading in this context, I feel. Yes, a lot of plugins that do heavy-lifting will increase drag on a server. But a good amount of core uses the Plugin API to hook into itself, using the same methods as a plugin. And adding this code to functions.php is doing the same thing.

      Nice argument! I’m researching on how to remove plugin scripts that are not necessary/not in use to a page but being requested every time in the server.

    I was using the remove_action method. Can’t thank you enough

35. Ray

    Realized that the “Secure WordPress” plugin already does that for you and more. Assuming most people would be interested in securing their Wordpress (not just hiding the version number), it would be better to make use of that plugin to do all these for you.

    Incidentally, I got to know of the Secure Wordpress plugin via wpbeginner. https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/11-vital-tips-and-hacks-to-protect-your-wordpress-admin-area/

    Nice work guys! Keep on writing!

    Yanıtla

    • Editorial Staff

      While plugins are great, they somewhat slow your site down. Why use a plugin if it can be done with a simple function in your functions.php file. But yes Secure WordPress plugin does that as well on all versions older than 2.4.

      Yanıtla

      Yönetici

      • Ray

        Would have to agree with you on that: just modding the functions.php would be more efficient than adding a plugin just to remove the version number.

        Yanıtla

36. Nick

    Ok, I’ve found the error.

    You must add the created function in the plugin.php file and not in the function.php file.

    Yanıtla

    • Editorial Staff

      The whole idea for this code is so you don’t have to edit any core files. If you edit plugin.php whenever you next update WordPress it will come back.

      Yanıtla

      Yönetici

      • Nick

        Ok the error was mine, I was modifying the wrong function.php file.
        The correct one is function.php inside the theme directory and not the one in the core.

        Thank you!!!

        Yanıtla

37. Nick

    It’s strange, it gives me the error:
    Call to undefined function: add_filter()

    But I’ve checked the plugin.php file and I have obviously the add_filter() funciont defined.

    Any suggestion? Ths.

    • Editorial Staff

      Did you copy and paste the code exactly from this site? It has to be inside php tags.
