    Hi

    The auto <p> function causes errors in html validation.
    No matter what i do, the error is still there.
    The auto p function inserts code like this:<p></p>
    The validator reads this as ?no end p tag is seen?.
    Is there a way to avoid this or some work around?
    Can this error be ignored?
    Or is the only remedy to disable the function?

    Thanks for your interest

    Hi

    Thanks for your response.
    Here is the page: ratsblog.ch/weiterbildung
    When you check this link with the w3c validator, you get three times:
    ?No p element in scope but a p end tag seen.?

    Inspecting the Dom the tags look like: <p></p>
    The validator obviously cannot read this correctly.
    I do not know whether this mistake is neglectable, but i would like to know why it occurs and if there is a way to fix it.

    Go to your post and click the “text” tab instead of visual. Delete the <p> tags and reenter them. It seems like your site changed it into an html entity instead of the tag.

    I did not enter any <p> tags at all. It is wordpress that does that automatically. There is not a single <p> Tag in the text editor.

    Hi
    I found the solution in the german part of the forum.
    I added p tags to my shortcode.
