 * Sorry, no such option is available with plugin. But you can add following code
   at the end of your theme’s funcitons.php to remove generator tag:
 * `remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator', 999);`

 * Yes, I know that no such option is available. That’s why I started this topic
   prefixed with **[Request]**. And, as in my original post, I’m requesting an option
   be built in to disable the addition of your WPDM generator. I’m not sure why 
   a download manager plugin even needs to insert a generator tag to begin with.
 * I already have code in my functions.php file to remove the generator tags.
 *     ```
       // Remove generators.
       remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');
       ```
