remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' ) - Poor Practice...

Hey guys,

remove_filter seems to be bad practice as it might break other plugins from working. Do you know any other solution to remove p tags to appear before and after the content page?

Thanks!

Thanks purethemes, appreciated!

This is what I use:

function wpex_clean_shortcodes($content){   
    $array = array (
        '<p>[' => '[', 
        ']</p>' => ']', 
        ']<br />' => ']'
    );
    $content = strtr($content, $array);
    return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'wpex_clean_shortcodes');

@WPExplorer

really? on your themes here? I was rejected for this twice.

and what is your Idea about this

remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' , 99);
add_filter( 'the_content', 'shortcode_unautop',100 );

I have done the same thing at the end, thanks WPExplorer

It should not be an issue as you are putting it back but I still wouldn’t touch the wp core even though it’s cleaner… not sure it would be accepted. Post back to confirm if it is.

Interesting to hear. Requested staff reply for this.
