    Hello,

    the plugin is still adding in this meta info:

    <meta name="wpsso-end" content="wpsso meta tags and schema markup end"/>
<meta name="wpsso-cached" content="2022-05-19T13:19:02+00:00">
<meta name="wpsso-added" content="2022-05-19T13:40:11+00:00 in 0.000894 secs for www.site.co.uk">

    We have used this code as previously advised to remove such comments:
    /**
    * wpsso constants:https://wpsso.com/docs/plugins/wpsso/notes/developer/constants/all/
    */
    define( ‘WPSSO_META_GENERATOR_DISABLE’, true );

    but it doesnt seem to be working correctly now?

    The WPSSO begin/end/cached/added meta tags are not generator meta tags, they are used to delineate the WPSSO meta tags block for duplicate checks. The generator meta tag is actually called “generator” and is used to document which app or plugin was involved in the creation of the webpage.

    @jsmoriss thank you for the update.

    Sorry I dont understand. Surley those checks are done prior to any frontend code being output? and any debug thats required could use those tags ONLY when debug is ebanled.

    To us it just looks like useless meta outout with the only benefit is to advertise a plugin and its code. Not a fan of that. How can we remove this?

    Since those meta tags are used for meta tag and markup checks internally, there is no way at the moment to disable them, although I can look at adding a constant to disable those meta tag and markup checks in a future version. As for the “generator” meta tag, as you know, the WPSSO_META_GENERATOR_DISABLE constant can be defined as true to disable that meta tag – it is purely informative and not used.

    @jsmoriss thanks for the update.

    Yes, please when you have the time add that constant…
