I just ran into this situation. Here is a function I used to undo wpautop. I might be missing something, but this is a good start: function reverse_wpautop($s) { //remove any new lines already in there $s = str_replace(“\n”, “”, $s); //remove all <p> $s = str_replace(“<p>”, “”, $s); //replace <br /> with \n $s … Read more
So, the default xmlrpc get_post function does not have any nice filters for you to use. The solution: roll your own XML-RPC callback! Hook into xmlrpc_methods and add a custom method, in this case called post_autop. The array key will be the method name, and the value the method callback. <?php add_filter( ‘xmlrpc_methods’, ‘wpse44849_xmlrpc_methods’ ); … Read more
Here’s the full solution. First disable wpautop in your functions.php remove_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’ ); remove_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘wpautop’ ); Then parse your content/excerpt with nl2br (a standard PHP function). add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘nl2br’ ); add_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘nl2br’ );
Paragraph tags are added upon display, not upon storage. The wpautop() function is added as a filter to the_content. You won’t ever see these added paragraph tags in either the visual or HTML editors.
I have done extended research and found the answer – I am now using a hook on ‘tiny_mce_before_init’. Based on other answers (special thanks to answer #2 @Chip Bennett), I have used the following code in my functions.php to secure the paragraph breaks (in the editor HTML mode they show as   but become paragraphs … Read more
I guess you don’t use it at all, so why don’t you just remove the filter? remove_filter(‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’); remove_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘wpautop’); I’ve tested it a few minutes ago (on WP 4.3) and it works. p.s. I just saw that you use the same function. Sorry for that. What version are you using? This disables the wpautop … Read more
You do not need a plugin to do this. Just add 3 lines of code to the end of the functions.php file in your active theme: remove_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’ ); add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’ , 99 ); add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘shortcode_unautop’, 100 );
There is my solution – tehere is my solution of this problem: Preserving tabs and line breaks in <pre><code> when switching from HTML to Visual Editor
Alright so I’ve already updated this question a ton and it’s starting to get overloaded, so I figured I’d write this as an answer even though it isn’t a full one. Extrapolating from @bueltge’s answer, I actually went back and found his previous post in question. In that post, there was a plugin listed that … Read more
WordPress will automatically insert <p> and </p> tags which separate content breaks within a post or page. If, for some reason, you want or need to remove these, you can use either of the following code snippets. To completely disable the wpautop filter, you can use: remove_filter(‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’); If you still want this to function … Read more
