How to remove the meta generator Content (Joomla!
- Copyright) in Joomla 1.5
Do you wonder
How to change <meta name="Generator"
content="Joomla! - Copyright (C) 2005 - 2007 Open Source Matters.
All rights reserved." /> in Joomla 1.5?
If yes, Here is how I've just found to remove the:
in my Joomla installation.
I need to remove that as a part of making my website not to leak
out that it runs on top of Joomla.
So here is how:
1. Go to your Joomla website main root directory
2. Edit
/libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/head.php
Look for line: 83 in the
/libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/head.php
There you will notice the code:
$strHtml .= $tab.'<meta name="generator"
content="'.$document->getGenerator().'"
/>'.$lnEnd;
In order to remove the
<meta name="generator" content="Joomla
...." /> change the above code to something like:
$strHtml .= $tab.'<meta name="generator" content="My
Custom Web site Generator name" />'.$lnEnd;
That's all now next time you refresh your website the
content="Joomla! - Copyright (C) 2005 - 2009 Open Source
Matters. All rights reserved." will be no more.
Cheers! :)
