 * Hi,
 * I’m sure this has been asked before (and i have searched), but i just can’t find
   a solution.
 * I was wondering how you remove all the classes that wordpress adds to the code
   such as
 * class=”page_item page-item-2″
    class=”entry” class=”pagenav”
 * and so on…
 * I know you can edit some core files like wp-includes/classes.php and wp-includes/
   category-template.php but is there an easier way, like a plugin of a bit of code
   that will remove the classes.
 * Cheers

 * WordPress doesn’t add most of those classes. They’re part of your theme and, 
   without them, your pages may not look very good. The only one that looks like
   a core class addition is `page_item page-item-2` but, if you don’t use those 
   CSS hooks, you can just ignore them. What’s the point in removing them?

 * Thanks for the reply,
 * class=”entry” was a bad example, I was looking to reduce the amount of code that
   was generated. It not a problem I just don’t like the fact that there is useless
   code filling out the pages.
