 * Does anyone know how to remove the textwidget class by adding something to the
   functions.php file?
 * I need to remove `<div class="textwidget">` and the ending `</div>` without hacking
   core files.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello,
    the `textwidget` class is there to maintain compatibility with the WordPress
   native text widget. Actually there’s not a simple way to change that without 
   hacking the plugin’s source. Moreover unfortunately WordPress doesn’t have a 
   filter hook aimed to modify widget output on-the-fly. There are workarounds for
   that, but they’re not so handy (i.e. the [Widget Logic](http://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/)
   plugin has such a filter hook internally). I think the best solution is to modify
   our plugin’s source, by adding one or more filters / hooks, in order to allow
   for better flexibility. I will update this topic when this feature will be available.

 * Latest version 1.4.3 provides filter hooks to change or remove the markup around
   the widgets text. Please check the [FAQ](http://wordpress.org/plugins/black-studio-tinymce-widget/faq/)
   about how to use them.
