AI Data Remover<\/strong> helps you clean up messy HTML that often appears after using:\n- AI writing tools that paste \u201cextra attributes\u201d\n- Elementor and other page builders\n- Copy\/paste from external sources (Docs, web pages, editors)\n- Imported content that carries junk markup<\/p>\n\n

Many of these tools add data-*<\/code> attributes that make HTML heavier and harder to maintain.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin scans your content and lets you bulk remove unwanted data-*=\"...\"<\/code> attributes safely from selected content types.<\/p>\n\n

What it does<\/h3>\n\n
    \n
  • Scans content for data-*=\"...\"<\/code> attributes<\/li>\n
  • Shows how many matches are found per item<\/li>\n
  • Lets you bulk remove selected items (you choose what gets updated)<\/li>\n
  • Optionally target:\n\n
      \n
    • All<\/strong> data-* attributes<\/li>\n
    • A specific<\/strong> data attribute (example: data-id<\/code>, data-source<\/code>, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

      What it does NOT do<\/h3>\n\n
        \n
      • It does not change your theme files<\/li>\n
      • It does not modify CSS\/JS<\/li>\n
      • It does not \u201cauto-optimize\u201d your entire site without your approval<\/li>\n
      • It only updates content when you click to apply changes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

        Safety & best practice<\/h3>\n\n

        This plugin modifies post content when you run a cleanup.\nWe strongly recommend taking a backup before bulk updates on large sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Free version<\/h3>\n\n

        The free version includes the core cleanup workflow:\n- Scan Posts<\/strong> and Pages<\/strong>\n- Scan up to 500<\/strong> items per post type\n- Bulk remove up to 25<\/strong> items per run<\/p>\n\n

        The free version is not time-limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Optional Pro add-on<\/h3>\n\n

        For larger sites and store catalogs, the optional Pro add-on can unlock:\n- Additional post types (including WooCommerce products, if enabled)\n- Select-all checkbox\n- Larger scanning & bulk limits\n- Export tools (e.g., CSV)\n- Advanced workflow improvements<\/p>\n\n

        The Pro add-on is optional. The free plugin remains functional on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Upload the plugin folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> (or install via Plugins \u2192 Add New)<\/li>\n
        2. Activate AI Data Remover<\/strong><\/li>\n
        3. In wp-admin, open AI Data Remover<\/strong><\/li>\n
        4. Choose what to scan and click Scan<\/strong><\/li>\n
        5. Select items and click Remove Selected<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n

          Will this break my layout?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          In most cases, removing data-*<\/code> attributes does not affect layout. However, some builders or custom scripts could<\/em> rely on specific attributes.\nWe recommend testing on a staging site first if you use custom front-end scripts.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Does it remove all HTML tags?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No. It targets data-*=\"...\"<\/code> attributes only.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Can I target just one attribute?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          Yes. You can scan for all data-*<\/code> attributes or specify a single one.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Does it work with WooCommerce products?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          The free plugin focuses on Posts and Pages. The optional Pro add-on can enable additional post types (including products) depending on your setup.<\/p><\/dd>\n

          Does it collect or transmit my content?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

          No. The cleanup runs inside your WordPress admin. Your content is not sent to third parties.<\/p>\n\n<\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
