 * The WordPress 3.8.1 automatic update brought all of our sites to their knees 
   that were running this plugin. I have deleted it from all of our sites and they
   are running fine now. Also this plugin causes my server to error during backups
   because it chmods the index.php in /wp-content/uploads to 4xx. This causes major
   issues. Goodbye plugin. Never using you again.

 * I’m not getting any errors, but the option to hide WP version isn’t working with
   the 3.8.1 update.

 * Make sure you remove the “readme.html” file from your self-hosted WordPress as
   it shows the version number when access from the browser. It will look something
   like this.

   adds something unique to the mix, and together we create something beautiful 
   that I’m proud to be a part of. Thousands of hours have gone into WordPress, 
   and we’re dedicated to making it better every day. Thank you for making it part
