A lightweight WordPress plugin that removes the .wp-site-blocks wrapper div automatically generated by WordPress 7, which can interfere with ACSS framework and custom styling.

Description

WordPress 7 introduces a new .wp-site-blocks wrapper div that wraps the main content. While this may be useful for some themes, it can interfere with custom CSS frameworks like ACSS (Automatic CSS) and break existing layouts.

This plugin removes the wrapper using multiple approaches:

  • Server-side removal during block rendering
  • Client-side JavaScript fallback for edge cases

Installation

  1. Download the plugin
  2. Upload to /wp-content/plugins/remove-wp-site-blocks/
  3. Activate through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

Requirements

  • WordPress 7.0 or higher
  • PHP 8.1 or higher

Features

  • ✅ Removes .wp-site-blocks wrapper automatically
  • ✅ No configuration needed
  • ✅ Compatible with ACSS framework
  • ✅ Lightweight and performant
  • ✅ Can be deactivated anytime
