Title: Remove links form source code header Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Remove links form source code header * [marrot76](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marrot76/) * (@marrot76) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-links-form-source-code-header/) * Hi there, * I try to remove all links from the source code header (link to external .css and to some Javascript files. I tried with creating a function like this – * ``` function removeHeadLinks() { remove_action('wp_head', 'rsd_link'); remove_action('wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link'); remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator'); remove_action('wp_head', 'rel_link'); } add_action('init', 'removeHeadLinks'); ?> ``` * – but it´s not working. Can s.o. help me? Otherwise i don´t get the idea of copying wordpress in a crypted folder on the server out of security reasons when you can see the name of that crypted folder in the source code … Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) * [s_ha_dum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apljdi/) * (@apljdi) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-links-form-source-code-header/#post-2184058) * The function wrapper is unnecessary complexity. Just use put the `remove_action` lines in your theme’s functions.php and don’t use the function part at all. * What ‘crypted’ folder? Have I missed something? * Also, it is really easy to figure out that you are looking at a WordPress install– just look at the URL(s) for the stylesheet(s) and the javascript. * Thread Starter [marrot76](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marrot76/) * (@marrot76) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-links-form-source-code-header/#post-2184070) * Thanks, * gonna try it out… * There are some advice around not to copy the content of the wordpress folder directly in the root directory of your server but to save it in a separate folder you should name as weird as possible. So any bots scanning the site won´t be able to find the wp_files. * That´s what I meant with “crypted” folder… Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) The topic ‘Remove links form source code header’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [header](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/header/) * [remove_action](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/remove_action/) * [source-code](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/source-code/) * 2 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [marrot76](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marrot76/) * Last activity: [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-links-form-source-code-header/#post-2184070) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
