Hi. I noticed that some recent update had all views wrapped inside a div with class="js-wpv-view-layout js-wpv-layout-responsive" and a aweful lot of data-attributes... How comes?

Please do not change structural dom like this without a heads-up - a single div like this can wreck a whole website if the CSS and JS is directly called (i.e. body > article or stuff like that).

Now that you have added it - how do i remove the div wrapped around my view? Its really uneccessary to have it in my case, it will just cause me more work..

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I apologize deeply the inconveniences you are facing due to this issue. I will try to help you as fast and effective as possible.

Since Views 1.11 we have had to wrap Views loop outputs in default HTML and CSS/JS in order to support things like infinite scrolling, and future to come features like "Front End Sorting and Ordering"

This will not be reverted, and it is not a BUG per se but basically it was never intended to use Views as a Data Provider.

Though, given the large usage of Views as a Data Provider, our DEV Team is currently developing a specific View Setting in order to do exactly this:
Provide raw data for later use.

This is a new feature and I can not state any ETA on this, other than that it is under development for future releases.

By now, the only way to return a "clean" Loop output is using the below filter to your current theme's functions.php file:

add_filter( 'wpv_filter_wpv_view_shortcode_output', 'prefix_clean_view_output', 5, 2 );
 
function prefix_clean_view_output( $out, $id ) {
    if ( $id == '375' ) { //Please adjust to your Views ID
        $start = strpos( $out, '<!-- wpv-loop-start -->' );
        if ( 
            $start !== false
            && strrpos( $out, '<!-- wpv-loop-end -->', $start ) !== false
        ) {
            $start = $start + strlen( '<!-- wpv-loop-start -->' );
            $out = substr( $out , $start );
            $end = strrpos( $out, '<!-- wpv-loop-end -->' );
            $out = substr( $out, 0, $end );
        }
    }
    return $out;
}

*** Note ***
This above code will not allow any settings in a View like parametric Search, AJAX Updates, scrolling, pagination, etc. It will provide bare, raw results.
