Remove WordPress version tag from header

Since version 2.5 WordPress inserts the version meta tag <meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress 2.5″ /> automatically without you having the possibility to remove it from the header file. WordPress now uses <?php wp_head(); ?> a function that if you remove you’re removing more than just the wordpress version. So the solution is to add something to your themes functions.php file.

Place this code: remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator'); right before the closing php tag ?> . Now check your source code, the wordpress version is not disclosed any more.
