## Beskrivning

Metadas Version Removal is a fast, minimal, production ready plugin that strips 
WordPress version information from all common output locations. This helps reduce
fingerprinting, hardens your site against automated scanners, and keeps your HTML
clean.

There is **no admin interface** and **no configuration required**. Activate the 
plugin and it immediately removes:

 * WordPress generator meta tag
 * Version query strings from scripts and styles
 * REST API discovery links
 * oEmbed discovery links
 * RSS generator tags
 * Shortlink tags
 * RSD (Really Simple Discovery) link
 * Windows Live Writer manifest

This plugin is intentionally small, efficient, and dependency free. It uses only
core WordPress hooks and does not write to the database.

### Features

 * Removes all WordPress version output
 * Zero configuration activate and you’re done
 * Lightweight class based architecture
 * No database usage
 * No UI, no clutter
 * Safe for caching and CDN setups
 * Compatible with all themes and plugins

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/metadas-version-removal/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress
 3. That’s it the plugin works automatically

## Vanliga frågor

### Does this plugin have any settings?

No. It is intentionally designed to be zero configuration.

### Will this break caching or minification plugins?

No. It safely removes version query strings without affecting file loading.

### Does this hide the WordPress version completely?

It removes all standard version outputs. Custom themes or plugins may still expose
versions in their own markup.

### Is this plugin safe for production sites?

Yes. It uses only official WordPress hooks and does not modify core files.

I installed the MetaDatas Version Removal plugin to help harden my WordPress website
and reduce unnecessary exposure of version and metadata information. Since implementing
it, I feel more confident in the overall security posture of the site, particularly
against automated scans and common reconnaissance techniques that look for WordPress,
theme, or plugin version data. The plugin was straightforward to install, lightweight,
and integrated well with my existing setup without affecting performance or functionality.
While no single plugin makes a website fully secure on its own, reducing publicly
exposed metadata is a sensible additional layer within a broader WordPress security
strategy. For anyone focused on improving security hygiene and limiting unnecessary
technical disclosures, this plugin is a useful addition.
