Remove unwanted data-* attributes from WordPress content after AI writing tools and page builders bloat your HTML.

== 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.

== 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.

== Screenshots ==

2. Scan results across Posts with match counts per item.
3. Scan results across Pages — bulk-select to remove markers.
