omitting the p tag from the_excerpt

add_filter('the_excerpt', 'wpautop');

comment that out inside wp-includes/default-filters.php

Nice… I wanted to know that too a few months ago. ??

Thanks whooami! I have another validation question in another thread too if you’ve got any clues.

Thanks whoami. That’s a useful plugin.

However, I have the same issue with category_description() too. And others.

How can I tell my WP to *never* wrap <p> tags automatically? Can you change your plugin to basically “remove_filter” for every tag?

sigh.

That plugin is useless. It has two lines of “remove_filter”. I already have five lines of remove_filter in the plugin I saved from the suggestion above.

I need this to work:

remove_filter ('category_description', 'wpautop');

But it doesn’t. Not with that plugin either.

So if you have anything tangible to offer aside from sighing, I’d be grateful. Thanks.

category_description(x) is not wrapped in <p> tags.

<?php echo category_description(1); ?>

Ive tested it on 2.0, and a 2.3 install. (wont and dont touch versions in between)

sigh?

erick_paper, in wp-includes/default-filters.php find this code:

$filters = array('term_description');
foreach ( $filters as $filter ) {
	add_filter($filter, 'wptexturize');
	add_filter($filter, 'convert_chars');
	add_filter($filter, 'wpautop');

comment out the last line, works like a charm!
