Remove generator content Joomla Open Source Content Management

When you view the source code of the Joomla website, you will notice the following meta generator.

This comes default with Joomla!

<meta name="generator" content="Joomla! - Open Source Content Management" />

Did you ever wonder how to remove them?

Well, there are many ways to do that. I will show you the easiest one. You can do this without hacking code.

I came across Joomla Plugin – Bye Bye Generator, which will do your job.

Bye Bye Generator

Very tiny plugin to do precisely – remove Meta generate. You also have the option to rename a custom generator. This is compatible with Joomla 2.5 and 3.x

Download and Install Bye Bye Generator Plugin
Open the plugin from Plugin Manager
Click Remove next to the generator and publish it.
Refresh your Joomla website and verify with page source code

I tested and worked as expected!
