ByeByeGenerator 5.0.0

This simple plugin allows the site administrator to customize the generator tag or remove it entirely. As of version 1.7 - also removes the generator tags from RSS and Atom feeds!

2.5+ users - you don't really need this plugin unless you're not comfortable editing your template index file. To do it in the template and save some system resources - just add this and Joomla will do the rest:
JFactory::getDocument->setGenerator(''); For newsfeeds - this plugin is still required!

If you're one of the many who think the generator tag is the last Joomla reference you need to remove, I'd like to direct you to my Clean Response plugin.

If you use Joomla Caching, be sure to place ByeByeGenerator before the "System - Cache" plugin in plugin ordering. This will ensure that cached pages also have the generator removed. The same thing goes for using the Jbetolo extension.

Tired of Joomla’s generator tag exposing your site’s platform? "System - ByeByeGenerator" is the ultimate Joomla plugin, uniquely designed to remove the generator meta tag completely—even from your RSS and ATOM feeds! Unlike other solutions, this simple yet powerful tool ensures your site stays discreet, giving you full control over your site’s identity.

How It Works

With "System - ByeByeGenerator," site administrators can effortlessly eliminate the generator tag with a single configuration. Starting with version 1.7, this plugin extends its magic to RSS and ATOM feeds, making it the only extension of its kind to offer such comprehensive coverage. For Joomla 2.5+ users, you can achieve this in your template’s index file by adding JFactory::getDocument()->setGenerator(''); to save resources, but for newsfeeds, this plugin remains essential.

Why Choose System - ByeByeGenerator?

If you’re among those who see the generator tag as the final Joomla footprint to erase, this plugin delivers. It’s straightforward, requiring minimal setup, but it’s not a plug-and-play solution for everyone—technical users may prefer template edits, while others will appreciate its ease. Pair it with my "Clean Response" plugin for a fully polished site. For optimal performance with Joomla Caching, ensure "System - ByeByeGenerator" is ordered before "System - Cache" in your plugin list to keep cached pages generator-free.
