Removing P tags (so annoying)

Hi all,

i’m working on a site and wish to stop those damn “P tags” getting added to the content.

so far i have tried:

installing wpautop plugin <— this did nothing

I added this code to function.php:

remove_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’ );
remove_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘wpautop’ );

<— this did nothing

then i tried adding this code to function.php:

function simonbattersby_shortcode_format($content){
$content = preg_replace('/(<p>)\s*(<div)/','<div',$content);
$content =  preg_replace('/(<\/div>)\s*(<\/p>)/', '</div>', $content);
return $content;
}

add_filter('the_content','simonbattersby_shortcode_format',11);

<— this did nothing

my only solution is to use “raw html” block instead of a “text block”

this problem has been around waaay too long, seriously.
