# Remove default widget markup

 * My sidebar is called this way in my theme
 *     ```
       <div class="block">
         <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar-footer-1' ); ?>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * When I visit the website, the code shows
 *     ```
       <div class="block">
         <li id="text-4" class="widget widget_text">
           <div class="textwidget">
             ...
           </div>
         </li>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * How do I get rid of the markup inside the .block-element?
    In the registration
   in my functions the args are empty:
 *     ```
       'before-widget' => 	'',
       'after-widget' => 	'',
       'class' =>		'',
       ```

 * It’s part of the default text widget output. You’d need to extend the widget’s
   class with a new name and override the appropriate method with your own version
   that does not produce the undesired output. Then use your version instead of 
   the text widget in your widget area.
 * To what end? With appropriate CSS the markup would have no effect.

 * Hello [@klecka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/klecka/) !
 * I hope you are doing well today!
 * I checked your code and it’s looks like you wrote it in a wrong syntax.
 * Please note that:
    `'before-widget'` & `'after-widget'` Must Written with UNDERSCORE(_).`'
   before_widget'` & `'after_widget'`
 * This is the default WP Sidebar registration
 *     ```
       <?php $args = array(
       	'name'          => __('Sidebar %d'),
               'id'            => 'sidebar',          
       	'description'   => '',
       	'class'         => '',
       	'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
       	'after_widget'  => '</li>',
       	'before_title'  => '<h2 class="widgettitle">',
       	'after_title'   => '</h2>' ); 
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Best Regards,
    Youssef

 * Hey [@blackcat13007](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blackcat13007/), yah,
   now I’m doing well. It was that typo. Thank you so much, I thought I was going
   crazy.
