 * Gah, there is a plugin in [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/)
   but I can’t find it… Google Fu is failing me…
 * This plugin [here works too](http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/free-wordpress-plugin-to-remove-generator-meta-tag-version-information-from-wordpress-blogs/).
   It’s from Angsuman’s blog.
 * It link for the plugin is hrml formatted but it contains this code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Plugin Name: WordPress Version Remover
       Plugin URI: http://www.taragana.com/products
       Description: Removes the WordPress header information from blog header.
       Version: 1.0
       Author: Angsuman Chakraborty
       Author URI: http://blog.taragana.com
       */
       add_action('init', 'removeWPVersionInfo');
       function removeWPVersionInfo() {
           remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');
       }
       ?>
       ```

 * no need to install as plugin…
    just put this in the header.php
 * remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_generator’);
 * before the <? wp_header();?>

 * Another interesting article that tells you how to do it (the wp_head method).
   This also tells you how to remove 2 other unsightly lines that WP makes visible
   in your source code (Windows Live Writer and the RSD line of code),
 * [http://www.petercolesdc.com/wordpress-ugly-wphead-pretty-face/](http://www.petercolesdc.com/wordpress-ugly-wphead-pretty-face/)
 * However, unfortunately, even with this — there are still blatent references to
   the WP version that will appear in the Admin screens. 🙁
 * This is bad because it appears for clients, authors, people who don’t know how
   to Upgrade WordPress and yet there is a yellow warning message telling them they
   need to “Get WP 2.6.5”. That’s not cool. That’s private info that should be only
   for the Admin.
 * **How can we remove it or hide it from the WP-Admin screens — both the yellow
   warning line at the top, and in the WP-Admin footer?**

   Among other things, this plugin removes the version from non-admins, even if 
   you aren’t logged in.
