How do I Hide the WordPress Version?

Hiding the WordPress version is crucial in securing your website against hackers and theme detectors.

By default, WordPress adds metadata and version numbers to scripts, styles, and images, revealing the CMS version you are using. Attackers can use this information to target vulnerabilities specific to that version.

  1. Go to WP Ghost > Tweaks > Hide Options.
  2. Switch on the Hide Version from Images, CSS, and JS in WordPress option to hide all versions from the frontend’s CSS, JS, and Images.
  3. Click the Save button to apply the changes.
Activate the Version Hiding Feature in WP Ghost

By enabling this feature in WP Ghost, the plugin will hide all version information from images, CSS styles, and JavaScript files within your WordPress site.

This helps enhance security by preventing potential attackers from quickly identifying the WordPress version and any associated vulnerabilities.

Keep in mind that this feature works to hide version details as long as the WP Ghost plugin is active on your website.
