Hey Shivaranjan,

Yes you can remove that meta tag from your source code by going into the Theme Editor and choosing Header.php. You’ll see a line that starts with “meta name=generator…”. Go ahead and remove that entire line. I also removed a bunch of other stuff from my header including meta distribution, etc.

Akishore-
Any idea how to remove that thing from my blog?
The technorati plugin is cool. I can now see the incoming links from technorati..

Actually Shivaranjan, you should be careful because your blog actually openly shows which version of WordPress you are running. I checked your source code and you have this:

“meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress 2.3″ /> < !- leave this for stats -->”

Anyone who knows how to perform advanced searches in Google can find blogs running specific versions of WordPress and then hack into those. You’re at 2.3, so you’re fine, but it’s still very visible (even though it’s a META tag)

Cheers!

I guess it is not that safe to reveal that openly…

I’ve been running it for about a week now and things have been going ok thankfully. All of my plugins worked except for WP-Cache, which for some reason is having issues. Hopefully that gets fixed soon.
