    I added the following code to my functions.php file to remove the wp version number from my header but it didn’t work.

    remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');

    I disabled and emptied all caching, refreshed but its still there. Any ideas why I can’t remove it?

    found this tread when searching for wp_generator..
    I know the question was posted a long time ago..
    But if others have the same problem then…..

    In your themes header.php file look for something like this:
    <meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" /> <!-- leave this for stats please -->

    the remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator'); only removes the meta tag when the wp_head() is called in header.php

    hope this helps.
