Subject: [PATCH] asianreviewofbooks: disable auto_cleanup so reviewer info
 isn't dropped
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

auto_cleanup keeps only the body, but on asianreviewofbooks.com the
reviewer name, publication date, category tags, h1 title, book-cover
thumbnail, and the contributor-bio block at the foot all live in
sibling sections within the same WordPress single-entry article
wrapper — so they get stripped as chrome.

Disables auto_cleanup and selects the whole <article class="...
single-entry ..."> wrapper via keep_only_tags. remove_tags strips
the JS-only social-share container, the duplicate post-tags footer,
and the "Related" carousel of other reviews appended after the body.
