Remove auto added from a page that has no literal content (uses shortcodes)

Question

I have a WordPress powered website that on the homepage uses a static page with nothing but shortcodes to generate the content.

The page gets these shortcodes by set

Answer 1

There are a few things you can try.

You can pospone the wp_autop because it processes before the shortcode output:

remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' , 12);

Or use the cleanup_shortcode_fix() function that should help with your issue:

function cleanup_shortcode_fix($content) {
    $array = array('
[' => '[', ']
' => ']', ']
' => ']', ']
' => ']');
    $content = strtr($content, $array);
    return $content;
}

add_filter('the_content', 'cleanup_shortcode_fix');
$string = preg_replace_('/
s*
/', '', $string);
add_filter('the_content', 'cleanup_shortcode_fix', 1);
