Does comment_text() add a set of <p></p> tags around comments?

Does anyone have any suggestions? I just want to find out how to stop a set of <p> tags being put around my comments.

What file is responsible for the comments?

comments.php is responsible for all of the comments. I need to add a class to <p> in the “comment_text” Does anyone know how to do this?

Just do this:

<div class="comment-text">
	<?php comment_text(); ?>
</div>

Only problem with that solution is if you’re using the class “comment-text” to add a box around the text for instance, the <p></p> tags that are automatically wrapped around that text adds a big space to the bottom of that box.

----------
| Text... |
| (space) |
----------

I’d also like to know if there’s some way to disable the tags without having to mess around with the php files.

I’ve just figured out a solution for that – as I also needed the comments without the <p> tags wrapped around them.

Remove the following line from your comments.php file in the folder wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME_FOLDER

<?php comment_text() ?>

Now place it with:

<?php echo $comment->comment_content; ?>

And that’s it!

Wow, the EXACT answer I was looking for! Thank you!

Very helpful! Thanks!!
