Enhance Your WordPress Security Effortlessly

Hide WordPress Version is a free security plugin designed for WordPress that focuses on enhancing privacy by removing the version string of WordPress from various locations. This plugin effectively targets the global variable $wp_version, ensuring that non-admin users do not see the version in the frontend. It also eliminates the generator tag output entirely, which can be a potential vulnerability, and hides the version information from the ‘Right Now’ admin dashboard widget and the admin footer for non-admins.

In addition to concealing version details, the plugin also removes the version from enqueued scripts and stylesheets, HTTP queries, XML-RPC responses, pingbacks, and Bloginfo() calls. Furthermore, it disables the update notice in the admin area for non-admin users, providing an additional layer of security and control. Overall, this plugin is a straightforward solution for users looking to bolster their WordPress site's privacy.

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
