 * Hello,
 * I was wondering how to get `<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 2.5" />`
   off my blogs? It shows up on the home page and on all single post.
 * I have tried a few things to remove it and so far nothing works.
 * I’m using 2.5
 * Thank you!

 * It’s in most theme’s header.php.
 * Look for something like
    `<meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('
   version'); ?>" /> <!-- leave this for stats -->` and delete it.

 * But normally that doesn’t show up ever on a frontpage – it should be visible 
   only in the source code.

 * I mean in the source code. Sorry about that.
 * Its all over the place in the source codes its on the index page and even on 
   the individual post .
 * Thank you Haochi I will try that now. 🙂

 * I just wanted to post in case others want to remove this. Haochi is correct in
   his instructions on just removing it from the themes header, it worked. Thanks
   again!

 * In 2.5 it’s hidden in the <?php wp_head(); ?> call
