Thanks Marty, you’ve convinced me to retire our function in favor of a filter on the body_class function… My main gripe with it is that it returns SO much crap I don’t need and not some of the obvious stuff a themer would want… Thanks for pointing out this method though, it seems like a better way to do it.

You can add or remove any classes you want using the ‘body_class’ filter. I personally use the body classes all the time but if you want simpler, it’s easy to filter it to be whatever you want.

return apply_filters( ‘body_class’, $classes, $class );
