WordPress Version Still Being Shown??

  • Hi,

    I have enabled the following option:

    Remove WordPress Generator Meta Tag
    Removes the meta tag from your sites header. This process hides version information from a potential attacker making it more difficult to determine vulnerabilities.

    But in my header the following information is still being shown:

    <meta name="generator" content="WordPress 3.8.1" />

    Should this not be hidden with the above option enabled?

    I have added the following to my themes functions.php file which seems to remove the version from the header and the rss feed, but this plugin fails to do it.

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

    Anyone else having the same issue with the Better WP Security Plugin?
