How To

Remove Generator Meta WordPress

Generator METAs are usually used to point to the authors of the services used inside a website. Lately, more and more WordPress plugin authors are adding their generator METAs in the source code.

The WordPress generator meta looks like this:

<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 6.*.*" />

To remove the Generator META from WordPress, use WP Ghost and activate the WP Ghost > Tweaks > Hide Options > Hide WordPress Version option.

The plugin will also remove:

  • removes the version parameters from CSS Styles loaded in the source-code
  • removes the version parameters fromJS Scripts loaded in the source-code
  • removes the generator Meta to WordPress
  • removes the generator Meta to WPML (WordPress Multilingual Plugin)
  • removes the generator Meta to Slider Revolution Meta Generator
  • removes the generator Meta to Visual Composer / WPBakery Page Builder
  • hides the Jetpack analytics trails to WordPress
