I am using the SiteGround Security plugin and I noticed that when the recommended setting to ‘Hide WordPress Version’ is enabled it, unfortunately, prevents gradients from showing in the background of colour sections.
The SiteGround Security plugin recommends hiding the WordPress Version because “…many attackers scan sites for vulnerable WordPress versions. By hiding the version from your site HTML, you avoid being marked by hackers for mass attacks.”
It took me a while to figure this particular setting was the issue but I thought you should know.
Hey Ben,
Thank you for sharing this, while we don’t support the SiteGround Security plugin other users may find this helpful.
You can remove the WordPress & WooCommerce generator meta with this snippet in your functions.php
remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');
and this doesn’t seem to effect the color section background gradient
Best regards,
Mike
