Don’t you just love the WordPress editor sometimes? Just when you least expect it, you click the text/html tab and find a heap of div or span tags added to your text or code!
Don’t stress, because I have found the ultimate solution on how to clean them up quickly and easily.
Enter the HTML Tag stripper tool which is a free online solution you can use several ways.
You can simply copy and paste anything into the box or add a file. On top of this, you can remove all HTML tags or exclude the ones you want to keep.
Here’s the before and after shots

Hi Brad,
I use Notepad to clean up code and recommend my clients do the same. Quick easy and ready to go on your desktop (unless you have a Mac). Is there an advantage to this online program over notepad??
Thanks. Theresa
Hi Theresa
The online tool is great if you have a large amount of div or span tags that need removing as it does the job in one click.
I didn’t know Notepad can clean up code.
Thanks for the tip.
