    My provider sent out a security memo that included among the suggestions “Use a plugin like WPCode to easily hide your WordPress version number, even through theme updates.” So, HOW do I do that and can I do it with WPCode Lite (I did not see any of mention of “Lite” when I was downloading it.)

  • You find a code snippet, such as:

    add_filter('the_generator', '__return_empty_string');

    (paste the code into a new php snippet) easy to track down if you Google it.

    Or … if you have decided to use this plugin, just:

    • Click on + Add snippet
    • Should open with a list of the 12 most popular
    • The very last one is a snippet to do exactly what you want (if not just search for it “Remove wordpress version number”
    • Click “Use it”
    • On the next page activate it (toggle switch top right next to the update button)

    Done ??
