Shortcode paragraph removal

Hello guys,

Is there a way of only removing p tags that are generated inside shortcodes? We don’t want to use wpautop filter. The clients should still be able to format their text by line breaks. But when this is being applied in shortcodes it messes up shortcode output.

We reeeeeally reaaaally need to solve this

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

p tags in shortcodes?

p tags in shortcodes?

When writing posts with shortcodes

 [divtag]
 abc
 [/divtag]

ends up as

< div >
<p>abc</p>
<p>< / div ></p>

We want to get rid of this automatically generated p tags.

function formatter($content) {
    $new_content = '';
    $pattern_full = '{(\[raw\].*?\[/raw\])}is';
    $pattern_contents = '{\[raw\](.*?)\[/raw\]}is';
    $pieces = preg_split($pattern_full, $content, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
    foreach ($pieces as $piece) {
        if (preg_match($pattern_contents, $piece, $matches)) {
            $new_content .= $matches[1];
        } else {
            $new_content .= wptexturize(wpautop($piece));
        }
    }
    return $new_content;
}
remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');
remove_filter('the_content', 'wptexturize');
add_filter('the_content', 'formatter', 99);

Thanks you for your support. However surrounding shortcodes with another shortcode probably will be too complex for some users

I don’t think so. I use the same technique and so far no complaints from clients.

Or in the shortcodes you want to do this for, just before you return the output put [raw] before the output string and [/raw] after it. Then return do_shortcode($output) and that’s it

So the user doesn’t have to do it himself.

man! where have you been? you didn’t posted anything on forum for whole day !!

Noone needed my help whole day

And finishing up the theme so don’t have much time for the forum

@winterbits – Any progress?

Put this in functions.php.

function remove_wpautop($content) { 
    $content = do_shortcode( shortcode_unautop($content) ); 
    $content = preg_replace( '#^<\/p>|^<br \/>|<p>$#', '', $content );
    return $content;
}
</p>

Example/Usage:

add_shortcode( 'blockquote', 'blockquote_shortcode' );
function blockquote_shortcode( $attr, $content = null ) {
    $return .= '<blockquote>';
    $return .= remove_wpautop($content);
    $return .= '</blockquote>';
    return $return;
}
