Contact form 7 how do I remove <br> tag?

CF7 doesn’t have any default <br /> tags that I know of.

Did you try your delete key?

cheeky bugger ‘Did you try your delete key?’

You’d be surprised just how many times a blatantly obvious answer has eluded people. ??

littlecuriosity, you don’t have to change the plugin’s code. Adding it to wp-config.php is better.

Controlling Behavior by Setting Constants

I tried updating WPCF7_AUTOP to false in wp-contact-form-7.php with no luck. I even tried updating it through the wp-config.php file but I still got those darn <br /> tags.

I sure wish the plugin would leave the use of both the <p> and <br> tags up to the user.

if ( ! defined( 'WPCF7_AUTOP' ) )
	define( 'WPCF7_AUTOP', false );

Anyone have any suggestions?

In the end I was able to get the define( 'WPCF7_AUTOP', false ); to work correctly. I had it in the wrong place within the wp-config.php file. See Controlling Behavior by Setting Constants

Though I was able to get this working correctly in a v2.9 I am not able to get rid of the <br> tags in v3.0. I’ve added it to my wp-config file above the “Happy blogging” like the instructions say on Controlling Behavior by Setting Constants

/* wp-contact-from-7 */
define ('WPCF7_AUTOP', false );   // set to false to remove <br> tags

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

What am I missing?

When define ('WPCF7_AUTOP', false ); doesn’t work, this will https://www.poiseandapple.com/panda-dev/getting-rid-of-br-tags-in-contact-form-7-plugin-for-wordpress-3-0-x/

Read down to the second solution.

None of the above solutions worked for me. Simple solution, update the your theme CSS file? ??

I added the following: .wpcf7-form-control-wrap br { display: none; }

BUMP.

that link is dead, poiseandapple :/

Wasn’t working for me until I just included this in my wp-config file:

define (‘WPCF7_AUTOP’, false );

I also deactivated the plugin and reactivated it and voila! no more pesky paragraphs and breaks!

Hope that works for you. I didn’t include the if not defined portion: if ( ! defined( ‘WPCF7_AUTOP’ ) ), since it is already defined by wp-contact-form-7.php, I figured it would not set it again in the wp-config file. I’m just presuming this is why some can’t redefine this to false but I haven’t verified that this is the case.

And you may not have to do the deactivate/reactivate part–but this is the process I went through, and now it’s working for me. I’m using Version: 2.4.4

Not sure if any of this will be helpful, but its a collection of stuff I had to do to get CF7 working perfectly with WP3.1 and twentyten…..

Thanks Rev. Very helpful. I just included some of those in my functions file and CSS.

Awesome, glad some of it was helpful for you!
