How do I remove <p> from the_content ?

Nobody knows? :/

Two ways:

the hard way – comment out the autop filter for content in the default filters file. (wp-includes/default-filters.php)

The better way: install Text Control plugin. Works great for p’s and also for quote misery in code. Adds two buttons to your Admin/ Write page.

If anyone gets to this post I suggest you go here https://mtdewvirus.com/code/wordpress-plugins/ and get the smallest plugin ever created called Disable WPautop. It is the simplest way it can be done.

Thanks for replying tho varkenshand ??

You could always just replace <?php the_content(); ?> with

<?php echo $wpdb->get_var("SELECT post_content FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = $id");?>.

Thanks for all the suggestions. For the benefit of future users, the waydomatic idea didn’t work with the exec-php plugin.

BUT Disable WPautop works GREAT. Thanks a ton to varkenshand and everyone who gave me input. It was really helpful.

or if you go into
wp-includes/default-filters.php

you can edit around line: 123
add_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');

and just comment that out with //
//add_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');

voila! no plug in overhead and no more <P> tags messing up your images

just curious, why would one want to remove the <p> tags in content ? isn’t that the way content should be formated ?

i’ve never seen content without the use of paragraph tags or am i missing something here

gspark, you’re missing something. =)

WP inserts Ps in all kinds of places that it just doesn’t belong.

Another fix.

well from this discussion board i tried this
and just comment that out with //
//add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’);
