== Description ==

Remove the version from your WordPress website completely, increasing security and thwarting potential hacks by hiding WordPress version information from the source code.

- Removes the WordPress version number from the HTML meta generator tag.
- Removes version query strings (`?ver=x.x.x`) from CSS and JavaScript files.
- Hides the WordPress version from RSS feed generator tags.
- Adds security headers to prevent attacks and improve site security.

== Installation ==

1. Upload `remove-version-info.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.

3. Go to your homepage, CTRL+U to view the source, and confirm that the WordPress version number has been removed from:
   - Meta generator tag.
   - Query strings in CSS and JS files.
4. Optional: You can check your security headers using developer tools in your browser to verify that headers like `Content-Security-Policy` and `X-Content-Type-Options` are being set.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Why should I use this plugin when I can just put the code into my functions.php file? =

You can do that, but when you update or change your theme, it will be removed (along with any other modifications done to the `functions.php` file).

= Will this plugin persist even if I change or update my theme? =

Yes. This plugin works independently of your theme and will continue to function regardless of theme changes.

If you deactivate or uninstall this plugin, the version information will no longer be removed.

= What security headers does this plugin add? =

The plugin adds the following headers:
- **Content-Security-Policy**: Helps prevent XSS attacks by specifying allowed sources for content.
- **X-Content-Type-Options**: Prevents browsers from interpreting files as a different MIME type.
