Comments in header

    I’m all for supporting plugin development, and generally dashboard ads don’t bother me. However, appending html advertisement comments in the header of the website without giving the user an option to remove it isn’t right.

    <!– This site uses the WordPress Twitter Bootstrap CSS plugin v3.3.6-0 from iControlWP https://icwp.io/w/ –>

    That poses a security risk in my opinion, as it advertises which plugin the user has installed on their website. Other plugins offer the ability to remove these comments either within the plugin options or by not obscuring the code returning the output.

    Even your “pro non ad” version only removes the dashboard ad. So, may I ask – how can we politely remove this advertisement from the header of our websites source code?

    Yea, no problem. This is really old code. I’ll put out an update to actually remove this on Monday.

    I’ve added a filter to remove the debug line. In in the FAQs, but here is the line you can add to your functions.php for your theme to make the change permanent:

    add_filter( 'icwp_wptb_show_debug_comment', '__return_false' );

    Cheers.
