GK HTML Post Stripper - Added Functionality

We have worked on improving and providing further options to the GK HTML Post Stripper plugin we had shared with you earlier. In case you missed the post, you can revisit it here Wordpress Plugin: GK HTML Post Stripper.

Quick Recap

As a quick reminder of the purpose of the plugin, it aims at allowing stripping HTML tags from posts available within your wordpress install. This could come in handy if you have outdated/old/mis-created HTML tags that cause problematic display within your site content.

New Adjustments

We have decided to make the plugin more flexible and to allow the user to make several choices under two umbrellas:

• Choosing which tags will remain untouched by the plugin's functionality. This is accomplished via adding the new Skipped Tags input field.
• Adding a Max Date field which allows choosing the maximum date of posts which will be affected by the update

Coding the Changes

In order to implement those modifications, we relied on creating 2 additional front end input fields, text and date fields, whose values will be posted upon submission and stored under wordpress options via the update_option and retrieved via the get_option functions.
The queries have also now been updated to utilize relevant values of those fields to filter out posts affected, but also filter out params sent to the strip_tags function.

Downloading the New Version

The changes have been committed to the official GitHub Repository
The relevant commit with the changes is available here

Feel free to check it out, and let me know should you have any questions :)

Thank you
