Wordpress - Remove classes from body_class

You can configure the $whitelist array in this function to filter out all other unwanted classes.

add_filter( 'body_class', 'wpse15850_body_class', 10, 2 );

function wpse15850_body_class( $wp_classes, $extra_classes ) {

    // List of the only WP generated classes allowed
    $whitelist = array( 'portfolio', 'home', 'error404' );

    // Filter the body classes
    $wp_classes = array_intersect( $wp_classes, $whitelist );

    // Add the extra classes back untouched
    return array_merge( $wp_classes, (array) $extra_classes );
}

Just an addition to @Geert answer (added a blacklist too) :)

Please be so nice to mark @Geert s answer as solution (not this one).

function wpse15850_body_class( $wp_classes, $extra_classes )
{
    // List of the only WP generated classes allowed
    $whitelist = array( 'home', 'blog', 'archive', 'single', 'category', 'tag', 'error404', 'logged-in', 'admin-bar' );

    // List of the only WP generated classes that are not allowed
    $blacklist = array( 'home', 'blog', 'archive', 'single', 'category', 'tag', 'error404', 'logged-in', 'admin-bar' );

    // Filter the body classes
    // Whitelist result: (comment if you want to blacklist classes)
    $wp_classes = array_intersect( $wp_classes, $whitelist );
    // Blacklist result: (uncomment if you want to blacklist classes)
    # $wp_classes = array_diff( $wp_classes, $blacklist );

    // Add the extra classes back untouched
    return array_merge( $wp_classes, (array) $extra_classes );
}
add_filter( 'body_class', 'wpse15850_body_class', 10, 2 );

I would recommend merely omitting the <?php body_class(); ?> template tag, if you have no need for its output.

Just apply class="portfolio" hard-coded into the <body> tag.
