   Hi,

   I'm trying to remove 2 lines from the 'Right Now' section of the dashboard that say the name of the theme and the wordpress version number.

   Could anyone help me remove these two using the functions file of my theme? - I've tried a few things, but find myself just blindly referencing functions.

   Any help would be much appreciated!

   Thanks,
   - D.

   open functions.php from your theme and the following code

   remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');

   Although the above will do it, a hacker could still find the version number through the RSS feed, so here is an article on how to do it, so it cannot be detected at all:

   Hey, Thanks for the answers! Though those have no affect on the dashboard. Is there anything that can remove it from the dashboard?
