    I tried to delete the version number, but whatCMS still detects my wordpress version. What did I forget?
    1. I deleted readme file
    2. I protected wordpress admin page
    3. I checked feed
    4. I included that in functions.php

    function remove_version_info() {
     return '';
}
add_filter('the_generator', 'remove_version_info');

    Try this:

    
// Cleaning up the WordPress Head
function The_head_cleanup() {
  remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_generator' );                                        
add_action('init', 'The_head_cleanup');

    I added your code snipet to the Theme’s function.php as well but with no success 🙁

    WhatCMS still shows WP 4.9.4.
    Interesting: Wappalyzer addon for FF did not show it anymore.

    function The_head_cleanup() {
  remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_generator' );  
}                                      
add_action('init', 'The_head_cleanup');

    I have another website with maintenance mode on it. WP 4.2 something. On this site the version number is not detected. So it has to do which version of WP I use I suppose.
