This time I will discuss on how to hide the core version of wordpress you are using. Why hide? the main reason why we should hide the version of the engine in the wordpress blog is the reason for our security aliases. This is done to reduce or minimize the possibility wordpress blog in the hack or taken over by people ignorant of fraudulent will always be there. Usually because of hacking to do on each wordpress blog, an amateur hacker must first find out which version of wordpress.
If a high class hacker attacks your, tips wordpress is not much useful, you can only pray and hope that not happen again . Well this time I will give you a few simple tips wordpress code to hide the version of wordpress this core.
Let Rock :-D :
Wordpress version of this code is usually located between the tag and <head> </ head> in the header.php file. someone can easily see through the source code we use with existing page source in their browser. Before version 2.5, the code with this version of wordpress can be easily removed with just a normal delete. but since version 2.5, code version of wordpress will be automatically included or added. If we deleted it a manually, its will appear again, again , and again. ~X(
This tips is not difficult to do, Simply open your file functions.php on Design>> Theme Editor, and code below:
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');
In the code above, I only use remove_action to shut wp_generator function (), which serves to add the code automatically wordpress version before, so it will not function before execution . This is what makes your version of wordpress will not be visible in the source code your wordpress blog, so that amateur hackers will not be able to see the version of wordpress engine you use.
