Unwanted </p> tags

  • Hey guys,
    I would really appreciate some help on this one.
    So Im using WordPress 2.7.1 and wherever I include blockquotes it seems to add a closing paragraph tag </p> just before closing the blockquote tag. There is no opening paragraph tag <p> so it produces validation errors because of the end paragraph tag which is not open.

    This is an example of the code produced:

    The amount of pills Im taking, counteracts the booze Im drinking</p>

    Notice how the </p> tag has been added before the end of the blockquote? WordPress adds this every time and it is unwanted.
    I did find a few plugins that prevented WordPress from adding paragraph tags, however they also stripped the
    tags from the pages which I added and do want.

    Any help is much appreciated,
    Thanks

    Hey, thanks for the reply, but as mentioned above I found a few plugins that were able to do this, however they all also stripped the <br /> tags from the page. I just want the extra paragraph tags removed but all the plugins seem to strip the break tags too.
    Thanks

    The WP editor tends to strip <br /> tags on its own, plugin or no plugin. You may want to create a class for <p> tags that has no bottom margin/padding, that you can use in place of a <br /> tag. Assign the class to a <p> when you want it to act like a <br />

    Everyone would agree the editor is less than perfect.
