Pasted HTML Cleanup

This plugin improves HTML content hygiene by:

• Replacing <b>/<i> with semantic <strong>/<em> tags
• Removing inline styles, class, id, aria-*, and data-* attributes
• Flattening <span> tags while preserving inner text
• Cleaning up Elementor’s text-editor widgets
• Running cleanup automatically on post save (for selected post types)
• Bulk-processing posts via the Tools menu
• Providing a real-time manual HTML cleanup tool in the admin

Useful for websites that have been copy-pasting styled HTML from other sources (like Word or Google Docs), or importing messy content from page builders.

Usage

• Enable or disable cleanup by post type via the Tools > HTML Cleanup settings.
• Use the WYSIWYG cleaner to test and clean HTML manually.
• Click “Start Cleanup” to process all matching posts in batches via AJAX.
