Removing the Joomla Generator tag

BY Administrator

If you want to Remove the Joomla Generator tag from your website, just find the file includes/frontend.php and delete the line: $mainframe->addMetaTag( 'Generator', $_VERSION->PRODUCT . " – " . $_VERSION->COPYRIGHT);

Thats it, now all kind of components writers wont sneak into your Joomla code by using this tag.

In Joomla 1.5 it's in here:
/libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/head.php
Delete the line: $strHtml .= $tab.'<meta name="generator" content="'.$document->getGenerator().'" />'.$lnEnd;
