Disable id attributes in Heading tag

  • I don’t know why but WP is automatically adding id attributes to h2 tags. I am not supplying any id or class attribute and I don’t need it. Also, it’s adding type="1" to <ol> tag that’s not needed in my case.

    Please help, how to stop it?

    I need this:

    <h2>Meaning</h2>
<h2>Origin</h2>

    This is what WP doing with it.

    <h2 id="meaning">Meaning</h2>
<h2 id="example-sentences">Example Sentences</h2>
<h2 id="origin">Origin</h2>

    Hi there,

    First thing that came to mind was seeing if deactivating all plugins and using a bundled theme like Twenty Twenty One removes that. Odds are it’s one of the two that is causing that.

    Hi Jose,
    Thanks for the reply.
    But I am not using anything like that.

    I am building a custom theme and there is nothing I’ve done with the the_content().

    Help!
    Will anybody tell me how to remove this?

    Is that code publicly available? Are you using custom blocks? Those header tags don’t get altered by core themes which is what lead to think theme. I do know some page builder plugins could also hook to that system so that’s the other reason I asked. If you deactivate all plugins does that still get output?

    Thank you very much for the reply.
    I am not using custom blocks.
    I am using the latest version of WordPress with 2 plugins: Akismet (Disabled) and Wordfence.

    See screenshot here: https://ibb.co/cXSv6T6

    I am giving you the link to the theme (under-construction).

    https://idioms.a2hosted.com/wp-content/themes/express.zip

    Please install it and see if it is also doing the same at your end.

    I would be highly thankful to you.

    Best Regards,

    Do you use Yoast? Could be related to their “Table of contents” block.

    Nevermind
