 * Hi Patrice,
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * No, the current Kadence Security does not include a setting to mask or hide the
   WordPress version (not in Pro either).
 * What you can use instead in Kadence Security is to enable Protect System Files(
   enabled by default) under Security → Settings → Advanced → System Tweaks, which
   helps block public access to files like `readme.html` that can reveal version
   information (although it’s not full version masking)
 * If you still want to hide the generator tag you may need to use a small custom
   code snippet (child theme or code snippets plugin) to remove the generator meta
   tag from the page source.
 * I hope this helps.
