Toggle wpautop

Description

Note: This plugin does not support the block editor but should continue to work without issue when using it with custom post types and the Classic Editor Plugin.

Before WordPress displays a post’s content, the content gets passed through multiple filters to ensure that it safely appears how you enter it within the editor.

One of these filters is wpautop, which replaces double line breaks with <p> tags, and single line breaks with <br /> tags. However, this filter sometimes causes issues when you are inputting a lot of HTML markup in the post editor.

This plugin displays a checkbox in the publish meta box of the post edit screen that disables the wpautop filter for that post.

Also adds a ‘wpautop’, or ‘no-wpautop’ class to the post_class filter to help with CSS styling.

Screenshots

  • Settings->Writing page with plugin settings.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. WordPress ‘Qoşmalar’ menyusundan qoşmanı aktivləşdir
  3. Proceed to the Settings->Writing and select which post types should have the option to disable the wpautop filter.

FAQ

Can I disable wpautop completely with this plugin?

Right now, no. wpautop is a great filter, and in most cases you should not need it disabled globally. However, if there is enough demand for this feature we can add it.

Can I set wpautop to default to “off” for new posts.

Yes.

Thank you for taking the time to create such an awesome plugin 🙂 finally those auto <p> tags are gone!

Solves inherent flaw in WP for editing custom web pages where WP puts in tags you don't want (try doing a definition list with double line breaks, and see how it breaks that with paragraph tags -- this fixes stuff like that). Allows for clean migration of existing static page HTML to WP, without having to fix the nanny-fixes WP tries to put in without asking and which are then hidden from you. Simply priceless plugin for webdev. If you don't know why this is so awesome, you likely don't need it. If you do know, you know why you must have it! And FYI: works with PHP 7.2 as of May 2018.

Had huge issues with carefully coded pages that WP "fixed" for me. Now I can avoid it this, while keeping autoformatting where it's handy.
