Howto: Remove NextGen Gallery Version Meta-Tag
increase wordpress security, hide plugin version informations
Why ?#
For Security Reasons it is not recommend to show any user the version of the software you are using. Since the NGG Version 1.9 a filter was added on my request, to hide the meta-tag with the version informations:
Default HTML-Header Output of NextGenGallery#
[html]
<!– <meta name="NextGEN" version="1.9.2" /> –>
[/html]
Just insert the following code into your templates functons.php file.
PHP Code#
[php]
// hide ngg version show_nextgen_version
function global_hide_ngg_version($txt){
return ”;
}
add_filter(‘show_nextgen_version’, ‘global_hide_ngg_version’);
[/php]
That’s it, the version information is removed from the generated HTML output!
Additional#
In this case it’s strongly remcommend to remove the WordPress version informations, too.
