Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Version Cloak

No. It hides or decoys version information to reduce automated scanning. The actual fix for an outdated component is to update it. Use this as an additional layer.

Obfuscate removes or blocks the version so a scanner reports "could not determine the version". Decoy reports a plausible current version so the site reads as fully up to date. Use a real, recent version for Decoy — an implausible value may be ignored by scanners.

WordPress detects updates from each component's real version (its main file header for plugins, style.css for themes), which is read independently. Core and plugin update notifications are unaffected. Masking a theme's style.css version does affect that theme's own update notice, so the plugin shows its own update notice in that case. I changed a setting but nothing changed. Almost always page caching. Purge your cache (e.g. LiteSpeed → Purge All) and any CDN after saving.
