Description
WordPress adds all kinds of -tags to the section of your site.
Some of these tags are quite good and have real uses, others make sense for some sites and others doesn’t.
Some tags are even considered a security risk, since they tell the world which version of WordPress you’re currently running.
This plugin allows you to remove all of the -tags that WordPress outputs by default.
You decide on a tag-by-tag basis which tags to remove and which to keep. Nothing’s enforced, you’re 100% in charge.
