There’s no new update yet so we’re wondering if there will be incoming fix on the said issue.

Appreciate any response. Thank you.

Without the plugin activated, everything is fine – no extra lines/p-tags.

I’m using Woocommerce & Storefront, the collapsable content is Woof Product Filter.

Thanks and Best Regards,

I use a combination of plugins.

– Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)
– XYZ PHP snippets
– WPbakery (pagebuilder)

my issue is those Ptag cropping up everywhere, i’m losing my mind over it!!!

so…

step 1- i set up a ACF content/fields

step 2- create my php snippet, like below as you can see NO P TAGS

<div class=the-stakes-hero-outer><div style="color:<?php the_field('the_problemstakes_text_colour', 'option'); ?>" class="the-stakes-hero"><div class="os-titles the-stakes-title"><?php the_field('the_problemstakes_statementtitle', 'option'); ?></div><?php the_field('the_problemstakes_text', 'option'); ?></div><div class=the-stakes-image><?php the_field('the_stakes_image', 'option'); ?></div></div>

step 3- insert my php snippet shortcode into my page via text block from Wpbakery, like below

[xyz-ics snippet="The-Stakes-layout2"]

now this is where those P TAGS start to appear!!!

see screenshot here

Once the shortcode is render on the page P TAGS get added WHY OH WHY OH WHY, why does this happen? how do i stop it?

this issue had been driving mad for 5 years!!! this is my second post about it

I have tried adding in, in a ton of different ways this code, IT DOES NOT WORK

// Prevent WP from adding <p> tags on pages
function disable_wp_auto_p( $content ) {
  if ( is_singular( 'page' ) ) {
    remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
    remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' );
  }
  return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'disable_wp_auto_p', 0 );

after updating to WordPress 5.7, empty spaces have been created between paragraphs.
Comparing the old CSS with the one after the update I noticed that before where it was: <p></p> now is added <p>:: before</p>.This causes an empty space of 15px or 20px.

Inspecting the code after the update, it adds:

p: empty: before {
content: “”;
}

Disabling this code from the Chrome console fixes the problem. How to intervene to resolve it definitively?

Thanks

i have been using wordpress for about 5 years now.

and I am struggling to stop it add P Tags to everything. it ruins every design i create and causes so so so many issues.

I feel like i have tried EVERYTHING, i repeat EVERYTHING.

I have try using various bits of code in the PHP functions file;

remove_filter(‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’); < this NEVER EVER EVER WORKS EVER FACT

(should the above code work on a Custom Post Types?? even though i doesn’t work on anything anyway)

I have used plugins to try and remove the ptags, DOES NOT WORK.

I added Advanced Tiny MCE, it tells me there is an invisible “p tag” present BUT i STILL CANNOT REMOVE IT

as you can probably tell i am absolutely bored stupid of this issue, i have been fighting it for years and years.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

it is driving me insane.

thank you

<div class="wpem-venue-short-info"><?php printf( __('%s', 'wp-event-manager'), get_venue_description($venue_id) ); ?></div>

Only site admins will be adding data to the site, so it’s not a risk to have full html or even basic html though.
How do I override for both Organisers and Venues display to full html output; or how do I change the above code or do I need to add something to my functions file to allow html elements such as
<br>,<em>,<i>,<ul>,<ol>,<li>,<a>,<p>,<img>,<h3>,<hr> etc.

Thanks

i’m working on a site and wish to stop those damn “P tags” getting added to the content.

so far i have tried:

installing wpautop plugin <— this did nothing

I added this code to function.php:

remove_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’ );
remove_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘wpautop’ );

<— this did nothing

then i tried adding this code to function.php:

function simonbattersby_shortcode_format($content){
$content = preg_replace('/(<p>)\s*(<div)/','<div',$content);
$content =  preg_replace('/(<\/div>)\s*(<\/p>)/', '</div>', $content);
return $content;
}

add_filter('the_content','simonbattersby_shortcode_format',11);

<— this did nothing

my only solution is to use “raw html” block instead of a “text block”

this problem has been around waaay too long, seriously.

this image may help explain https://homesearchproperties.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Screenshot-hsp.jpg

any help? please?

Does anyone have any suggestions? The pages look really bad without those p tags. And it’s seems really odd that it would be so contrary about the one page.
