Hide WordPress version

Hide the WordPress version from public page metadata with Security Ninja Pro Fixes.

Public WordPress version metadata (often the generator tag) helps attackers match known exploits to your release. Hiding it is useful hardening, not a full defense. Keep WordPress updated either way.

Hide WP Version

On Pro:

  1. Go to Security Ninja → Fixes.
  2. Enable Hide WP Version (or the similarly named toggle on that screen).
  3. View your page source and confirm the versioned generator tag is gone.
