Metadas Version Removal

Metadas Version Removal is a fast, minimal, production ready plugin that strips WordPress version information from all common output locations. This helps reduce fingerprinting, hardens your site against automated scanners, and keeps your HTML clean.

There is no admin interface and no configuration required. Activate the plugin and it immediately removes:

WordPress generator meta tag
Version query strings from scripts and styles
REST API discovery links
oEmbed discovery links
RSS generator tags
Shortlink tags
RSD (Really Simple Discovery) link
Windows Live Writer manifest

This plugin is intentionally small, efficient, and dependency free. It uses only core WordPress hooks and does not write to the database.

Features

Removes all WordPress version output
Zero configuration activate and you’re done
Lightweight class based architecture
No database usage
No UI, no clutter
Safe for caching and CDN setups
Compatible with all themes and plugins

Инсталиране

Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/metadas-version-removal/
Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress
That’s it the plugin works automatically

Does this plugin have any settings?: No. It is intentionally designed to be zero configuration.
Will this break caching or minification plugins?: No. It safely removes version query strings without affecting file loading.
Does this hide the WordPress version completely?: It removes all standard version outputs. Custom themes or plugins may still expose versions in their own markup.
Is this plugin safe for production sites?: Yes. It uses only official WordPress hooks and does not modify core files.

I installed the MetaDatas Version Removal plugin to help harden my WordPress website and reduce unnecessary exposure of version and metadata information. Since implementing it, I feel more confident in the overall security posture of the site, particularly against automated scans and common reconnaissance techniques that look for WordPress, theme, or plugin version data. The plugin was straightforward to install, lightweight, and integrated well with my existing setup without affecting performance or functionality. While no single plugin makes a website fully secure on its own, reducing publicly exposed metadata is a sensible additional layer within a broader WordPress security strategy. For anyone focused on improving security hygiene and limiting unnecessary technical disclosures, this plugin is a useful addition.
