body class

when i use page templates, body_class() is showing too many classes

body_class() will print the classes

is there a way to only show one class? specifically the template name?

See if info in this StackExchange thread points in the right direction: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/211556/how-to-only-show-page-id-as-body-class

Great, very helpful

There isn’t really such a thing as “too many classes”. Those classes are there to allow for targeting of various types of things using CSS. You don’t need to use them all, just the ones that are relevant to your layout.

Why do you want to remove them?
