Ruminative WP

<p>Hides the WordPress version everywhere it’s displayed, including feed generator tags, static asset URLs, load-styles.php and load-scripts.php, and in /wp-admin/install.php and /wp-admin/upgrade.php. Some plugins hide the WordPress version, but not everywhere, and that’s as good as not hiding it at all. This plugin hides all occurrences of the WordPress core version.</p>
<p>This version hiding doesn’t break the cache-busting that WordPress does using the version number in static assets URLs.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Hides WordPress version in static asset (CSS, JS) URLs</li>
<li>Hides WP version in feed XML</li>
<li>Hides WP version in admin pages and static asset loaders (load-scripts, load-styles)</li>
<li>Doesn’t break the cache-busting on WordPress core assets when WordPress upgrades</li>
</ul>
<p>Multisite is not supported yet, but support is intended for a future release.</p>
<h3>Supported Platforms</h3>
<p>This plugin works with WordPress 5 and PHP 7+. It’s best to use the Apache web server, with .htaccess support. Nginx works ok too, but you need to update the web server configuration manually. Microsoft IIS is not officially supported, for now.</p>
<h3>Requirements</h3>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 5 or above</li>
<li>PHP 7 or above</li>
<li>Apache or Nginx web servers (Apache 2.4.10 and above, or Nginx 1.11.6 and above)</li>
<li>If using Apache, either .htaccess support enabled AND permalinks enabled *, or the ability to edit the web server configuration and restart the web server</li>
<li>If using Nginx, the ability to edit the web server configuration and restart the web server</li>
</ul>
<h3>Support</h3>
<p>Support isn’t currently available, but if you’ve followed instructions and read the FAQ and it still isn’t working on your platform, bug reports are appreciated, either by using the forum or by <a href="https://ruminativewp.com/pages/contact" rel="nofollow ugc">direct contact</a>. If there’s a bug it will probably be fixed in a short while.</p>
