Declutter WordPress

This plugin lets you remove some of the default headers, tags and classes that WordPress inserts into your template by default. I personally find that some of them are unnecessary and just waste bandwidth. The plugin currently lets you configure the following:

• In the head of HTML and XML documents
• Feed links (blog and comment feeds)
• Extra feed links (category, tag, author, search feeds)
• Really Simple Discovery and Windows Live Manifest endpoint links
• Links to previous/next posts
• Generator tag which reveals which version of WordPress you are using
• Shortlink tag
• In HTTP response headers:
• Shortlink header
• Redundant Etag headers
• X-Pingback header
• Remove HTML body classes that you do not need (there is a huge list of classes that WordPress automatically inserts into the body tag)
• Remove post classes that you do not need (e.g., type-, category-, tag-)
• Remove comment classes that you do not need (e.g., odd, even, alt, byuser, bypostauthor, depth-N)
• Remove menu item classes that you do not need (e.g., menu-item, current-menu-item, current_page_ancestor)

If you come across any bugs or have suggestions, please contact me or use the support forums. I can't fix it if I don't know it's broken!
