How to stop WP from adding P tag automatically

  • Hello,

    I like to add a map to the bottom of my posts. The map embed code from Google Maps comes inside <iframe> tags. In the TEXT tab of the Classic editor, I drop the embed code at the end.
    But as soon as I update the page, WP automatically adds <p> tags around the embed code. This ruins my design because my embed is 2000px wide and the p tags force it to display as wide as my text, which is just 800px.
    How do I keep WP from adding P tags automatically? I checked /wp-admin/options-writing.php under settings but couldn’t find any applicable settings.

  • You can add this to your theme’s functions.php

    // Stop WordPress from adding <p> tags
    remove_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’ );
    remove_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘wpautop’ );
