Title: Remove extra code not needed in block editor Last modified: August 6, 2024 --- # Remove extra code not needed in block editor * Resolved [joycegrace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joycegrace/) * (@joycegrace) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-extra-code-not-needed-in-block-editor/) * Hello, this plugin is adding a whole bunch of extra code into the HTML of Block Editor pages. * It is adding its options to every single block. But the settings are not being used at all for these blocks. * This is making is very difficult to locate elements in the code editor of a page. * It is also making things ‘messy’. * To give just a glimpse (sine I can’t add screenshots here), one block has the following bits of code in it: * ```wp-block-code "extended_widget_opts": {"id_base":-1, "column":{"desktop": "12", "tablet": "12", "mobile":"12"},"alignment" :{"desktop": "default", "tablet": "default", "mobile": "default"}, "roles":{"state":"'","options":"hide"}, "visibility":{"selected":"0", "options": "hide", "acf":{"visibility":"hide", "field":"'', "condition":''', "value":"'}},"author_page" :{"author_pages":{"selections": "1"}}, "devices" :{"options": "hide"}, "days":{"options": "hide"}, "dates":{"options": "hide", "from":"''',"to":"'},"styling" : ``` * And it goes on and on… - Is there a way to prevent this code from being added to widgets that are not using any widget options? - Is there a way to add only the code pieces necessary for any particular widget option being applied to a block? - How do we remove all the extra code after deactivating the widget options plugin, without having to re-format every single block on all of our pages? * Thank you Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [Mej de Castro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mej/) * (@mej) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-extra-code-not-needed-in-block-editor/#post-17942738) * Hi [@joycegrace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joycegrace/), * Thanks for reaching out. We have now relayed this to our development team for further verification. We’ll keep you posted! * Regards, Mej, from Widget Options team * Plugin Author [Mej de Castro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mej/) * (@mej) * [1 year, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-extra-code-not-needed-in-block-editor/#post-17956392) * Hi [@joycegrace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joycegrace/), * According to our developer, these codes cannot be removed as they are essential for ensuring that other widgets function correctly with the widget options in Gutenberg. * Thanks and let us know if you have other questions. * Regards, Mej, from Widget Options team * Thread Starter [joycegrace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joycegrace/) * (@joycegrace) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-extra-code-not-needed-in-block-editor/#post-18018607) * Why can’t you just remove the code that is not being used for a particular widget? What would one widget’s code have to do with another widget’s code? * Can you also please answer this question from the original post: * How do we remove all the extra code after deactivating the widget options plugin, without having to re-format every single block on all of our pages? - This reply was modified 1 year, 8 months ago by [joycegrace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joycegrace/). * Plugin Author [Mej de Castro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mej/) * (@mej) * [1 year, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-extra-code-not-needed-in-block-editor/#post-18019341) * Hi [@joycegrace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joycegrace/), * Our development team is currently in process of creating a solution on how to remove the extra codes when the Widget Options plugin is deactivated. * We appreciate your patience and we’ll keep you posted about this. * Kind Regards, Mej, from the Widget Options Team * Plugin Author [Mej de Castro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mej/) * (@mej) * [1 year, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-extra-code-not-needed-in-block-editor/#post-18149611) * Hi [@joycegrace](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joycegrace/), * We recently released a new version of Widget Options. Have you updated the plugin yet? * We strongly recommend updating to the latest version, as it includes a patch for removing the redundant code not required by the block editor * Thank you, and we’d appreciate your feedback on this update! * Kind Regards, Mej, Widget Options Team * [Lauren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oncecoupled/) * (@oncecoupled) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/remove-extra-code-not-needed-in-block-editor/#post-18183069) * [@mej](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mej/) how does the removal work? Does it happen on post save, for example?
