Edit output to remove extra p and br tags

Hello hirschid,

I took a look at your form and I don’t know why there are extra <p> and
tags being inserted into the form code. If I look at one of our forms in a test site there are no extra tags like that appearing in the code.

May I see the shortcode you are using?

Can you think of any plugins you have installed that would be adding those tags?

Thank you!

Hi hirschid,

There are extra <p> tags and tags because the description is being run through the_content filter which wraps everything in wpautop.

Code: https://github.com/yikesinc/yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender/blob/7d97a9b569c438e361bd3bab8ae216547b41dd69/plugin_core/public/class-yikes-inc-easy-mailchimp-extender-public.php#L70-L82

If you want to remove the extra tags, feel free to try the following snippet.

remove_filter( 'yikes-mailchimp-frontend-content', 'wpautop' );

Ideally that will prevent the description from being run through the mentioned filter, thus preventing any extra html tags.

Thanks! I added the snippet Evan suggested to my child theme functions.php and no joy.

The shortcode I am using is this:

[yikes-mailchimp form=”1″ submit=”Meditate Me!”]

@tracy: I did look at forms on your website and, yes, no extra tags.

This website is using the Karma theme with Visual Composer. Thinking Visual Composer may have been the issue, I added the shortcode to the test page linked above without using Visual Composer.

Seems odd no one else has reported this issue. I also don’t understand, looking the the code on github, why I would need to add extra filters to my functions.php when it appears that wpautop is already off for shortcode:

add_filter( 'yikes-mailchimp-frontend-content', 'shortcode_unautop' );

I am using the current version of your plugin.

To follow up, shortcode_unautop ensures that the shortcode itself is not wrapped in autop, not the contents of the shortcode.

I will continue to look into the issue, but I would first recommend you take a look at visual composer. That generally causes some funky issues with plugins.

Thanks,
Evan

Hi hirschid,

We have not heard back from you in awhile so I am going to close out this ticket. If you need further help, feel free to reopen it.

Thank you!
