There is another free alternative to ByeBye Generator, as it’s functionality is a bit limited. The Joomla metadata suite plugin allows you to remove the generator tag or brand it.

You can also remove the author tag, and add in additional metadata items for your social profiles including OpenGraph data.

Hope this helps.

The code you provided worked perfect in Joomla 1.5. Took only a few minutes to make the change. Thank you!

I am new to Joomla, found this article while searching something else, are the generator meta tags added by the Joomla Template generator tools like Arti or TemplateToaster or these are present in all Joomla Templates ?

Finally figured it out! I had been working on it for days!
I had to go to libraries>joomla>document>html>renderer

find: $generator = $document->getGenerator();
if ($generator)
{
$buffer .= $tab . ” . $lnEnd;
}

change to: //$generator = $document->getGenerator();
if ($generator)
{
$buffer .= $tab . ” . $lnEnd;
}//

and it finally worked. I had to clear cache. logout and then restart foxfire. Not sure why I had to restart my foxfire, but that was the problem!

I am wondering how to do this in ja_purity. It has the jat3 system with it and I am fit to be tied on actually finding the correct answer to this! Thanks if anyone knows, I have tried many things, but it isn’t working!

Got to say what a super read from using the plug to adding a simple line of code could not have been made easier well done @EP_Learning http://www.easypacelearning.com
