Manipulating wp_head function

(@l2yanuk)

Hi everyone,

I’m using the all-in-one-seo plugin and what I’m wanting to do is move that to the top of the wp_head menu when it renders the html. Currently the wp_head seems to display like this:

<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="http://www.example.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd" />
<link rel="wlwmanifest" type="application/wlwmanifest+xml" href="http://www.example.com/wp-includes/wlwmanifest.xml" />
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.example.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.2.3'></script>
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.5.1" />

<!-- all in one seo pack 1.4.6.8 [221,285] -->
<meta content="index, follow" name="robots" />
<meta name="description" content="description" />
<meta name="keywords" content="lots, of, key, words" />

but I’m wanting to turn it round so it looks like this instead…

<!-- all in one seo pack 1.4.6.8 [221,285] -->
<meta content="index, follow" name="robots" />
<meta name="description" content="description" />
<meta name="keywords" content="lots, of, key, words" />
<!-- end of all in one seo -->

<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" title="RSD" href="http://www.example.com/xmlrpc.php?rsd" />
<link rel="wlwmanifest" type="application/wlwmanifest+xml" href="http://www.example.com/wp-includes/wlwmanifest.xml" />
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.example.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.2.3'></script>
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.5.1" />

I can tell you can just forget about it because wp_head will call your plugin’s scripts after itself, if you remove wp_head no plugin’s scripts will be called

btw the wp_head is in default-filter.php in wp-includes

I would also like to do this. YSlow advises placing all your stylesheets includes before javascript includes. However due to the automatic nature of wp_head I am unable to do anything about this.

Thanks for this! I was bummed by the fact that the wp_head spews out the version number. I just commented the wp_genareator like this: add_action('wp_head', '/*wp_generator*/');

But, is there a way to change this without changing the file? Cause after an update I’ll have to change it back.

Thanks

yep, there is a plugin to remove the generator meta tag:

Doing this ('wp_head', '/*wp_generator*/'); wasn’t a good idea after all. It worked locally, but on my server it gave an error message. Just to let you know.

remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');

This code worked for me. I placed it inside my theme’s functions.php file. The same method works for removing other actions, such as

remove_action('wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link');
remove_action('wp_head', 'locale_stylesheet');
etc
