Accepted AnswerHello Eduardo G.
In the below file on line 329, you can remove or update it.
plugins/system/helixultimate/src/Core/HelixUltimate.php
But it will be updated again when you update or install the template again. If you just want to change the content, then you can override the language string 'HELIX_ULTIMATE_GENERATOR_TEXT
Best regards

Accepted AnswerThanks, but I need an upgrade-safe solution. This must be optional, we must be able to choose the information we want to "leak" in our websites. I cannot hack the same file over and over on any update. I need to toggle this option or disable it by default.

Accepted AnswerHI Eduardo,
If this is raw Helix Ultimate just override Language phrase used there:
Use your company name or word "CMS" - as you wish.

Accepted AnswerIf we can't get full control of what we publish in out websites, what's the point? Why isn't an option for that?
if ($this->params->get('enable_generator_tag'))
{
$generatorText = Text::_('HELIX_ULTIMATE_GENERATOR_TEXT');
}at plugins/system/helixultimate/src/Core/HelixUltimate.php

Accepted Answeredit that file, then change its permission from 644 to 444 and won't be changed by next update. Think out the box.

Accepted AnswerThen I'll have a problem with future updates. I think logically ;-)
You still want us to hack the files instead of making it optional. That makes no sense

Accepted AnswerHi Paul,
I made the language override, but it does not take effect.
Helix Ultimate version is 2.1.1.
I also tried to change the
plugins/system/helixultimate/src/Core/HelixUltimate.php
file and replaced the language constant with '', but with no effect on the site.

Accepted AnswerJust create an override for HELIX_ULTIMATE_GENERATOR_TEXT as suggested above. It's simple and doesn't interfere with upgrades.

Accepted AnswerYes, using tip > https://www.joomshaper.com/documentation/helix-framework/customization-tips#how-to-rename-meta-generator-with-helix-ultimate-name
Allows you to create a simple override that will work for years. Just remember to do that for all used languages.
