wordpress security tip: remove your wordpress version number

[fris]

Gonna make this quick since Im posting this on my iphone.

Some of your, infact a lot that do this are doing it incorrectly.

This is what 95% of the people have that I see.

remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');

This will remove it from your theme, but it will still show up in your feeds.


All you have to do is add this to your themes functions.php file. (this is the proper way)

add_filter('the_generator',create_function('$a',"return null;"));

Your theme can have a functions.php file which you can have your own custom functions you can use for your theme, you can also override current core functions.

Here are a couple links worth reading
