Keep Your Blog Secure By Hiding Your WordPress Version Number | How To
As you have already come to know what I will be discussing with you today. Keeping your blog safe from hackers is a very essential task. Although professional hackers can hack into anything, but at least you can prevent your blog from amateur hackers.
The best thing to do is to hide your blog’s version number, since a hacker will look at it first and then device a method against your blog. It’s a lot easier to hack previous or old versions of your blog. So keep in mind to update your blog as soon as the update is made available.
Never the less, here is an even better method to prevent hackers from knowing your blog’s version in the first place. If you are using WordPress version 2.5 or older, simply navigate to your header.php file and remove this line,
<meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress <?php bloginfo(’version’); ?>” />
In case you are using the latest version that is greater than 2.5, then you won’t find this line, because it is generated from the WordPress Core Engine. Therefore, the best thing to do is to install a plug-in, that can be download from here.
Note: Although, this trick is not necessary but its best to take extra precautions, as the saying goes ‘Prevention is better than Cure’.
