// Remove the WordPress version number
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_generator' );

// Remove the emoji script
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'print_emoji_detection_script', 7 );
remove_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'print_emoji_styles' );What it's for
Every WordPress developer keeps pasting the same snippets into the theme's functions.php. Here you tick the ones you want and get a single clean, commented block for your child theme or a functionality plugin.
Frequently asked questions
›Where do I put this code?
In your child theme's functions.php, or in a small functionality plugin. Avoid editing the parent theme: an update would wipe your changes.
