Stop WordPress automatically showing tags

Question

Wordpress automatically generate lot of unwanted

tags every where. Even the img tag also wrap by these

t

Answer 1

Wordpress Visual Editor itself create those tags for new lines.

You can try to remove the filter wpautop from the_excerpt or the_content

remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
// OR
remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' );

Sometimes it doesn't work (Didn't work for me in the past. Not with PHP).

You can try with Javascript/jQuery, place this code after DOM loaded or before the closing tag.

jQuery('p:empty').remove();

Will remove all empty

elements from all over the document.
