Hiding the WP version info is a small step to prevent bots from crawling your site, it does not prevent fingerprinting, but every little bit helps. In your theme’s functions.php add the following:
Raw
hide_wp_version.php
<?php
// remove version info from head and feeds
function complete_version_removal() {
return '';
}
add_filter('the_generator', 'complete_version_removal');
?>
