I had a horrible time when I tried to upgrade from WP 2.7.1 to 2.8.4, and have now rolled back to 2.7.1. I know I have to upgrade because of security problems....many sites have been hacked. I'm going to try again, or wait for help. But in the meantime, I want to remove the version number from the meta generator tag. How can I do that?

I tried the wp-security plugin, which removes that tag for you, but it seems to conflict with another plugin I need, Featured Content Gallery.

Add this to somewhere towards the end of Atahualpa's functions.php

PHP Code:

remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator'); 


Thanks. I realized I had to enclose it in PHP tags, right? Seems to be working.

If you put it somewhere between existing PHP tags <?php ... ?> then you wouldn't need to wrap them but if you add it somewhere outside of PHP tags, then you'd need to add them. If it works then it's alright

Thank you. I just tried it and it works fine for me.
