automatic inserstion of paragraphs

Incase anyone is facing the same problems. It looks like cracked the puzzle.

What I did was add this code to my functions.php

function my_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', 'my_formatter', 99);

In the above code (CSS-tricks) I check if there is a [raw][/raw] wrapper the content, if so remove auto p. Otherwise keep it like wordpress renders is.

Then I changed a little thing in the plugin, in the function ‘siteorigin_panels_filter_content’ in siteorigin-panels.php near : 569 to this.

function siteorigin_panels_filter_content( $content ) {
	global $post;

	if ( empty( $post ) ) return $content;
	if ( in_array( $post->post_type, siteorigin_panels_setting('post-types') ) ) {

		//wrapped the rendering from panels with a raw tag, so the auto p's go to hell!
		$panel_content = '[raw]'.siteorigin_panels_render( $post->ID ).'[/raw]';

		if ( !empty( $panel_content ) ) $content = $panel_content;
	}

	return $content;

}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'siteorigin_panels_filter_content' );

Hope I helped out anyone trying to crack the puzzle.

Again, thanks for a wonderful plugin!

For anyone interested. I spoke too soon. The above changes to siteorigin-panels.php didn’t work as expected. I wrapped the [html][/html] tags too soon. In the above code a normal page (w/o panels) would not show. I first needed to check if rendered content came trough, if so. wrap it with the [html] tags.

Code below seems to work like a charm.

function siteorigin_panels_filter_content( $content ) {
	global $post;

	if ( empty( $post ) ) return $content;
	if ( in_array( $post->post_type, siteorigin_panels_setting('post-types') ) ) {

		$panel_content = siteorigin_panels_render( $post->ID );

		// if there is panel content, wrap with html and output lovely clean HTML
		if ( !empty( $panel_content ) ) $content = '[html]'.$panel_content.'[/html]';
	}

	return $content;

}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'siteorigin_panels_filter_content' );
