How can I remove p tags that are auto added within tinymce

Question

I am using tinymce 4.0.1 and it automatically adds p tags when you either start typing or hit enter. How can I dynamically remove these p tags and then reinsert the content

Answer 1

Add this to your functions.php file and the standard

tags will be removed by adding some parameters to the tiny_mce_before_init hook. If you want to see how it works, you can read further on this page: https://codex.wordpress.org/TinyMCE

function my_format_TinyMCE( $in ) {
$in['forced_root_block'] = "";
$in['force_br_newlines'] = TRUE;
$in['force_p_newlines'] = FALSE;
return $in;
}
add_filter( 'tiny_mce_before_init', 'my_format_TinyMCE' );
