Hide WordPress Version Plugin

Removes the WordPress version string from:

• The $wp_version global variable (frontend only)
• Generator tag output (removed entirely)
• ‘Right Now’ admin dashboard widget (non-admins)
• Admin dashboard footer (non-admins)
• Scripts and stylesheets enqueued without a version declared
• HTTP queries
• XML-RPC responses
• Pingbacks
• Bloginfo() calls

Also removes the update notice in the admin for non-admins.

1. Upload hide-wordpress-version.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

Will this make my install secure?

No. You still need to keep up-to-date with the latest WordPress version. This plugin will stop those less knowledgeable from finding out your version, but it is still possible to find this out.
