 * Hello,
 * Could you please recommend the best way to remove “WordPress [version] running[
   theme name] theme” for non administrators? This message is displayed at the bottom
   of the At a Glance window.
 * Thank you

 * I think the best way to accomplish this is to add the following filter to the`
   functions.php` file of your theme _(or whatever way you add snippets)_
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'update_right_now_text', '__return_false' );
       add_filter( 'privacy_on_link_text', '__return_false' );
       ```
   
 * Note: The second filter removes the “Search engines discouraged” text, if you
   have that option enabled in settings.
