Remove Joomla! Generator Meta Tag

How about this for an invitation to a hack – “This website is based on Joomla – here’s the copyright date, now guess the version?” That’s about what you are saying to would-be hackers by leaving that damn generator meta tag in the head of your html document. Get rid of it already! I’m tired of looking at it.

  1. Open includes/frontend.php
  2. Find this code: $mainframe->addMetaTag( ‘Generator’, $_VERSION->PRODUCT . ‘ – ‘ . $_VERSION->COPYRIGHT);
  3. Delete it.
  4. Done.
  5. Celebrate with a burrito and a beer.

You are now a stealthy Joomla! fella.
