Description
AI Data Remover helps you clean up messy HTML that often appears after using:
– AI writing tools that paste “extra attributes”
– Elementor and other page builders
– Copy/paste from external sources (Docs, web pages, editors)
– Imported content that carries junk markup
Many of these tools add data-* attributes that make HTML heavier and harder to maintain.
This plugin scans your content and lets you bulk remove unwanted data-*="..." attributes safely from selected content types.
What it does
- Scans content for
data-*="..."attributes - Shows how many matches are found per item
- Lets you bulk remove selected items (you choose what gets updated)
- Optionally target:
- All data-* attributes
- A specific data attribute (example:
data-id,data-source, etc.)
What it does NOT do
- It does not change your theme files
- It does not modify CSS/JS
- It does not “auto-optimize” your entire site without your approval
- It only updates content when you click to apply changes
Safety & best practice
This plugin modifies post content when you run a cleanup.
We strongly recommend taking a backup before bulk updates on large sites.

FAQ
-
Will this break my layout?
-
In most cases, removing
data-*attributes does not affect layout. However, some builders or custom scripts could rely on specific attributes.
We recommend testing on a staging site first if you use custom front-end scripts. -
No. It targets
data-*="..."attributes only. -
Can I target just one attribute?
-
Yes. You can scan for all
data-*attributes or specify a single one. -
Does it work with WooCommerce products?
-
The free plugin focuses on Posts and Pages. The optional Pro add-on can enable additional post types (including products) depending on your setup.
-
Does it collect or transmit my content?
-
No. The cleanup runs inside your WordPress admin. Your content is not sent to third parties.
