included PHP file adds tags in random places

    Included php file results in extra <p> tags in random places through out the code. Resulting in unexpected design flaws.

    Do you have an idea how can i get rid of the unwanted tags

    I tried the following plugins and some other solutions with no success.
    Disabling Filters
    Disable wpautop Plugin
    Raw HTML
    wpautop control

    Here is my WP page that calls a php which does most of the work.

    [insert_php]
    require_once(“app_admin/court_types.php”);
    [/insert_php]

    The generated code supposed to look like this 

    <div id="administrationContainer">
	<div id="adminContent">
		<div id="adminPageTitleContainer">
			<div id="adminPageTitle">
				<h1>Court Types Management</h1>
			</div><!-- endof adminPageTitle -->
		</div><!-- endof adminPageTitleContainer -->
	<div id="adminPageContent">
</div><!-- endof administrationContainer -->

    instead it look like this. (Extra <p> tags).

    <div id="administrationContainer">
	<div id="adminContent">
		<div id="adminPageTitleContainer">
			<div id="adminPageTitle">
			<h1>Court Types Management</h1>
		</p></div>
		<p><!-- endof adminPageTitle -->
	</div>
	<p><!-- endof adminPageTitleContainer --></p>
</div>

    sukrub, it’s a WordPress feature that inserts <p> and
    tags to format the content. Very annoying when you don’t want them.

    To remove at least some of them, try eliminating HTML comment tags. Also, if possible, put as much of the inserted HTML code as you can into one line.

    Because it’s a PHP file, perhaps code in court_types.php could remove comments and make everything else into one line before it sends its content to the WP post or page. It would allow you to maintain the code in an orderly manner and still send it to WP in a way that should eliminate all or most of the <p> tags.

    Thanks for your quick response Will:

    It is difficult to remove the HTML comment tags, line breaks and tabs, since I am actively developing the PHP code and I need to see my code clearly.

    We should be able to turn off that feature through-out WP. Tolls that claim to turn them off work only with in the WP page and does not seem to work with the included PHP codes.

    I think, I found a work around. I just create a blank WP page called court-types, and I called the associated PHP file at the end of header.php (within the child theme).

    Here is the associated code. This does not introduce the unwanted <p> tags.

    $currentPage = $post->post_name;
$_POST['currentPage'] = $currentPage; 

if ( $currentPage == 'member-types' ) {
	require ('app_admin/member_types.php');
} elseif ( $currentPage == 'court-types' ) {
	require ('app_admin/court_types.php');
} else {

}

    I’m glad you found a workaround.

    Thanks for sharing.
