    I am working on securing our site, and one item on my list is to hide the version number of the Foobox plugin.

    This is the only plugin we have installed which exposes its version number.

    Is there an easy way to edit this, so that it does not?

    Thanks!

    Hi @artfc

    You can log in to your WordPress admin and navigate to Tools -> Plugin File Editor. You’ll then need to select FooBox and all of the FooBox files will be displayed. After that, go through the files and remove/change the version numbers added.

    Hope this helps.

    Kind regards,
    Elvis.

    Thanks @elviiso for the suggestion. I looked through the files for this plugin, and I’ve found a couple of places where a value in an array is set for the version number. After I look around in the code some more, I’ll begin by changing the value to ‘0’ and seeing how it affects things. There are some places in the code where it checks for minimum version numbers for other things, third party parts of the plugin, but so far I haven’t seen a place where it’s checking for the main version of the plugin, so hopefully I can just change it in one place and it will work as intended.
