Title: Can I Delete this WordPress Html Code? Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Can I Delete this WordPress Html Code? * [2009switcher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2009switcher/) * (@2009switcher) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-delete-this-wordpress-html-code/) * I’m working on a new windows software program (kinda like Windows Live Writer),& I have a question about a snippet of html that WordPress generates while I’m writing a blog post, here is my current process. * 1) Upload an image thru the wordpress Admin control panel, that gives me html code that looks like this. * `myimage1` * Here is the html code that I’m not sure about: `wp-image-337` * What is this code for, & why is it being generated by wordpress, better yet can I delete this code (manually)? * I’ve looked at my last few blog post that all contain images, the auto generated wordpress html (wp-image-337) looks like it is adding random numbers to the end of the code (example: 337). * I have deleted the code from my last blog post, & the image still shows up in my blog. I’ve searched thru my cpanel for any type of filename similar to “wp- image”, & get nothing. * Bottom line is I really need to be able to post to my blog without this html code, my fear is, will I ever break the image code down the road. I don’t want to post a bunch of new blog post/images then find out I screwed up each new blog post. * Thanks… 🙂 Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) * [Simon Fairbairn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simonfairbairn/) * (@simonfairbairn) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-delete-this-wordpress-html-code/#post-1203130) * Wp-image-337 is an automatically generated class name for CSS purposes. It allows you to target that image specifically within your posts and style it using CSS. * When you upload an image, WordPress automatically assigns a bunch of classes depending on your image settings. The number at the end will simply be a unique id generated by WP when you first uploaded the image, so that if you ever wanted to edit the CSS, you could use * `.wp-image-337 {border: 1px solid #000; }` * and only that image would have a black border, none of the others. * If you haven’t added any specific CSS styling within your stylesheet, then it’s basically benign, nothing more than a reference, and will have no effect on the display of the image (unless you add some CSS). * Why do you want to get rid of it? * Thread Starter [2009switcher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/2009switcher/) * (@2009switcher) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-delete-this-wordpress-html-code/#post-1203189) * SimonFairbairn, * Thank you for your help. * The reason I want to get rid of that wordpress code snippet is, I’m working on a windows program that does this: * 1) I will ftp +/-3000 images to my web host cpanel (manually), which is a few simple clicks at most. * 2) All of the images that get uploaded in step 1, will be in a folder on my local PC, I wrote a program to parse the entire folder for image names (image1.gif, image2.gif, etc…) * 3) After the image names get parsed the program will then write out the HTML for each individual blog post, & save a .txt, so you can see, at 3000 blog post, it will save me a lot of work. * All of my images will be in the same folder online, with the same basic url ` http://myblog.com/imagefolder/2009/09/` my program will apppend the image name to the end of each url, to look like this `http://myblog.com/imagefolder/2009/ 09/myimage1.gif` * Since I don’t need that wordpress code snippet `wp-image-337` I won’t need to worry about the numbers that get generated (337, etc…). * Can you tell me how wordpress stores each blog post (text file, database, etc…),& where I can find the folder in my wordpress install/cpanel?
