How to remove meta tag "generator" in Joomla

(13 votes, average: 4.46 out of 5)

On a page that is generated by Joomla, by default you will always see a meta tag like following

<meta name="generator" content="Joomla! 1.5 - Open Source Content Management" />

There are two ways you can remove generator meta tag from Joomla 1.5

The easier way is
Go to Extensions >> Template Manager open your default template and click on "Edit HTML"
add following one line of code anywhere between html tags <head> and </head>

<?php $this->setGenerator('Your own meta tags or leave it blank'); ?>

Save and Done

The second way will remove the generator meta tag from your page source code completely

Open <server_root_path>/libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/head.php
find for "generator" in the php file

remove line $strHtml .= $tab.'<meta name="generator" content="'.$document->getGenerator().'" />'.$lnEnd;

Save and Done
