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 can unlock:
– Additional post types (including WooCommerce products, if enabled)
– Select-all checkbox
– Larger scanning & bulk limits
– Export tools (e.g., CSV)
– Advanced workflow improvements
The Pro add-on is optional. The free plugin remains functional on its own.
