  Can anyone instruct me how to remove the shortlink meta tag please? The main reason I want to remove it is that it stops my homepage from validating as it has an empty value (http://fishpig.co.uk). Also, I don’t see how it will benefit my site.

  I have added the following to my functions.php but to no avail!

  remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘shortlink_wp_head’);
  remove_action(‘wp_head’, ‘wp_shortlink_wp_head’);

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Sorry, but you’re in the wrong forum and need to be at WordPress.ORG instead. We dont’ have php access here, and won’t be able to help you.
