About AI Data Remover
From the official readme · v1.1.1Description
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.
Free version
The free version includes the core cleanup workflow:
– Scan Posts and Pages
– Scan up to 500 items per post type
– Bulk remove up to 25 items per run
The free version is not time-limited.
Optional Pro add-on
For larger sites and store catalogs, the optional Pro add-on unlocks (every Pro feature is gated on a valid BigBad Agency license – nothing unlocks on activation alone):
– Additional post types – scan WooCommerce products and any public custom post type, not just Posts and Pages
– Master Select-All checkbox to tick every visible row at once
– CSV export of scan results (ID, title, type, status, match count, edit URL)
– Unlimited scan window and bulk removal – no 500-item scan cap and no 25-item per-run cap
– Up to 200 rows per page
The Pro add-on is optional. The free plugin remains fully functional on its own.
Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/(or install via Plugins -> Add New) - Activate AI Data Remover
- In wp-admin, open AI Data Remover
- Choose what to scan and click Scan
- Select items and click Remove Selected
Frequently asked questions
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.
Does it remove all HTML tags?
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.
