Plugins from the official WordPress Core Performance Team are now suddenly generating “generator” tags. If possible, please remove this bloat which reveals too much about my site.

Thanks for a plugin and a support!

In Version 6.3 this plugin causes a cascade of JS errors that can be seen in the browser console, rendering the Post editor inoperable.

@gurudeb Can you please release a compatibility update for the latest WordPress and WooCommerce, as it’s painful to see such an amazing plugin being abandoned.

Thanks!

Hi there, I love the plugin!

I use Redux Framework on some of my websites, which also adds a meta tag. It would be great if this could be removed with your plugin as well! Thanks!

After unchecking “Remove version from script (JS files)” option everything comes back to normal.

Hello,

Please note that v15.1 has a conflict with WooCommerce v7.5.1, making some WooCommerce pages blank (Home, Customers …).

The same happens with WP 6.2 (you can’t edit posts anymore).

Deactivating the plugin solves the issue.

Thanks!

Hello,
I use the latest version of the plugin, latest WP on PHP 8.1.13.
If the plugin setting of “Remove version from script (JS files)” is enabled, when entering the edit page of a WP page, an empty page is loaded and the page cannot be edited.
Disabling this option – solves this issue.

Hi , This is my site , on this site we have a mega menu , on Trade Of the day post vategory we have some feature post which is showing a annying strong tag with title “FTI JUMPS INTO THE ‘BUY ZONE’” wondering why the tag is not rendering.

Hi Pankaj,
Firstly, we want to thank you for making a really great and useful plugin! We recently encountered an issue with the Meta Generator Remover ver 15.0 and iThemes Security ver 8.1.2. If the Meta Generator Remover is installed and activated, it causes all the settings page of iThemes Security 8.1.2 dashboard to be blank on the WordPress backend. If we de-activated Meta Generator, the iThemes Security setting pages show the content again.

Some info of interest…
+ Using WordPress 6.0.1
+ Tried using the latest basic Twenty Twenty theme and still have the same issue
+ Uninstall and reinstall Meta Generator Remover and still have same issue

Are you aware of this problem and if there is a solution? Thanks.

Sincerely,
Jimmy

Hi Pankaj,

In the next version, it would be great if the Powered by WordPress could be removed from the login screen source.

This can be tied to the Remove Admin Login Page Logo setting, so when you remove the logo, the Powered by also gets removed.

Thanks!

Hi @gurudeb

In the next version, could you please also add an option to remove the Admin Dashboard Help Tab, as it shows information about the WP version and other stuff that needs to be hidden.

The code to do it is here.

Thanks!

Hello. Does the plugin have a negative impact on SEO? Is there an option in the plugin that it is better not to enable for a negative impact on SEO? Thanks

Hi,
I recently installed WordPress 5.9.3 and found that there is a conflict with the plugin. I wasn’t able to Edit/Add new Posts or Pages.

Running into error (perhaps because minification).

PHP message: PHP Notice: ob_end_flush(): Failed to delete and flush buffer. No buffer to delete or flush in /root/site/wp-content/plugins/meta-generator-and-version-info-remover/meta_generator_and_version_info_remover.php on line 362

The fix for this is to replace the 3 instances in code of:
ob_end_flush();

With:

if(ob_get_length() > 0) {
    ob_end_flush();
}

@gurudeb In the next version, could you please add the option to remove the – WordPress text from the Admin Login page title?

/**
 * Changes the wp-login.php page title and removes the default "WordPress" text
 */
add_filter( 'login_title', function($login_title) {
    return str_replace(array( ' ‹', ' — WordPress',__('WordPress'),), array( ' ‹', ''), $login_title );
});

add_filter( 'admin_title', function($admin_title) {
    return str_replace(array( ' ‹', ' — WordPress',__('WordPress'),), array( ' ‹', ''), $admin_title );
});

This would help us a bit in white-labeling the Admin area.

Thanks!

Hi,
When i activate the Meta Generator and Version Info Remover Plugin, the smart slider3 sliders disappier from the frontend. I use WP5.9.1 with the twenty twenty two theme. Do you know this problem and do you have a solution for it?

The guys from nextendweb wrote to me about it:

The problem within this plugin happens, because they are closing all PHP codes before all of them including ours could finish. The source of the problem is this file:
\wp-content\plugins\meta-generator-and-version-info-remover\meta_generator_and_version_info_remover.php
line 346.:

    add_action('wp_head',function (){
        ob_end_flush();
    }, 992);

If they would delay this code to happen for example on 'shutdown', not on 'wp_head', that way our code could run too:

    add_action('shutdown',function (){
        ob_end_flush();
    }, 992);

So you should contact this plugin's developers and ask them to fix this issue for you, to make sure the fix is included in the next versions too.

What do you think about this Problem? Any solution?

Best Regards
Arno Henning

Divi adds theme credit comments before their inline CSS begins. Is this possible to get removed?

First of all, great plugin.

I’ve encountered a strange error on my page when I activated the plugin and chose to remove the MonsterInsights comment. Before the styles were loaded, I saw a brief flashing of /* */ on my site. While this was negligible, the text pushed the content around and thus slight, but noticeable, layout shifts were the result.

When MonsterInsights comment removal was active, the following HTML was generated:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://example.com/wp-content/cache/minify/8d1dc.css" media="all" />

/* <![CDATA[ */
var monsterinsights_frontend = {"js_events_tracking":"true","download_extensions":"doc,pdf,ppt,zip,xls,docx,pptx,xlsx","inbound_paths":"[{\"path\":\"\\\/go\\\/\",\"label\":\"affiliate\"},{\"path\":\"\\\/recommend\\\/\",\"label\":\"affiliate\"}]","home_url":"https:\/\/example.com","hash_tracking":"false","ua":"","v4_id":"G-0000000000"};
/* ]]> */
</script></script>
<script src="https://example.com/wp-content/cache/minify/818c0.js"></script>

instead of

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://example.com/wp-content/cache/minify/8d1dc.css" media="all" />

<script type='text/javascript' id='monsterinsights-frontend-script-js-extra'>
/* <![CDATA[ */
var monsterinsights_frontend = {"js_events_tracking":"true","download_extensions":"doc,pdf,ppt,zip,xls,docx,pptx,xlsx","inbound_paths":"[{\"path\":\"\\\/go\\\/\",\"label\":\"affiliate\"},{\"path\":\"\\\/recommend\\\/\",\"label\":\"affiliate\"}]","home_url":"https:\/\/example.com","hash_tracking":"false","ua":"","v4_id":"G-0000000000"};
/* ]]> */
</script>
<script src="https://example.com/wp-content/cache/minify/11394.js"></script>

Apparently, because the id of the script tag contains “monsterinsights”, the tag/line is removed from the output, resulting in the aformentioned error.

Installed plugins:
– Google Analytics for WordPress by MonsterInsights (free): 8.2.0
– Meta Generator and Version Info Remover: 12.2

After the last update of the plugin or the DIVI theme, DIVI is blocked and does not let me build.
By disabling the plugin, DIVI works perfectly.

Hi,

Hello Pankaj,

Could you please add in the next version, another option to also remove the WordPress Version and Thank you message from the Admin footer?

Code:
add_settings_field('pkm_admin_footer_checkbox', __('Remove WP version from admin footer', 'meta-generator-and-version-info-remover'), array($this, 'pkm_admin_footer_checkbox_setting'), __FILE__, 'pkm_meta_generator_and_version_info_remover_section');

public function pkm_admin_footer_checkbox_setting() {
        ?>
        <input name="meta_generator_and_version_info_remover_options[pkm_admin_footer_checkbox]" type="checkbox" value="1"<?php checked( 1 == (isset($this->options['pkm_admin_footer_checkbox']) && $this->options['pkm_admin_footer_checkbox']) ); ?> />
        <?php
    }

if ( isset($options['pkm_admin_footer_checkbox']) && ($options['pkm_admin_footer_checkbox'] == 1) ) {
    add_filter( 'admin_footer_text', '__return_empty_string', 11 );
    add_filter( 'update_footer',     '__return_empty_string', 11 );
}

'pkm_admin_footer_checkbox' => 0

Thanks!

Hello,

can you add support to remove Easy Digital Downloads and MasterSlider meta generators and version info?

Thanks

When this plugin is active alongside the WooCommerce plugin, it causes the WooCommerce Dashboard to load as a blank page.

Several 404 errors occur in the Web Console, all of which appear to be related to the woocommerce style.css

Hi, it have error on my site: PHP Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, null given in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/meta-generator-and-version-info-remover/meta_generator_and_version_info_remover.php on line 238.
Can you resolve it?

Hello,

I’m working on a new site project and I installed your plugin. I’m also using the “Yoast SEO” plugin, as well as “Google Analytics”, but I don’t understand what you mean with “Remove Yoast SEO comments” and “Remove Google Analytics comments”. Can you give an example, please? Thank you.
