 * My provider sent out a security memo that included among the suggestions “Use
   a plugin like WPCode to easily hide your WordPress version number, even through
   theme updates.” So, HOW do I do that and can I do it with WPCode Lite (I did 
   not see any of mention of “Lite” when I was downloading it.)

 * You find a code snippet, such as:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter('the_generator', '__return_empty_string');
       ```
   
 *  (paste the code into a new php snippet) easy to track down if you Google it.
 * Or … if you have decided to use this plugin, just:
    - Click on + Add snippet
    - Should open with a list of the 12 most popular
    - The very last one is a snippet to do exactly what you want (if not just search
      for it “Remove wordpress version number”
    - Click “Use it”
    - On the next page activate it (toggle switch top right next to the update button)
 * Done 🙂
