Hi Matt, thanks for linking to my Plugin.

A small notice: If you remove the meta generator tag from the header.php file of the theme you are not out of the woods. The point is that the meta tag will be included by WordPress itself. If you want to remove it you have to remove the hook from the “wp_head” event. And this is only possible with a line of php code and this is the reason i coded the plugin.

Best regards.

Using one of the plug-ins listed in the bottom of the post should do the trick.
