Text block text inline

    I want to be able to use text blocks to build up a paragraph on one line e.g.

    [text-blocks id=”b11″ plain=1] my other text specific for the page [text-blocks id=”b2″ plain=1] more page specific text

    The problem is that <p> tags surround the text block, and I only want the actual text / html I enter in the textblock.
    I have been using the “text snippets” plugin, which works a treat and removes the surrounding <p> tags to the block, but it has not been updated for over 2 years, and no support. I have found your plugin which is very similar, apart from this issue.
    In your support there is a mention of a parameter, which I assume is plain=1, but there is nothing to say if this does what I want, if its supposed to it does not work.
    Can you help with this please?
    Many thanks, LenW

    Just realised that the way you have this working, all text within a text-block end up in nested <p> tags. The page/post editor adds a paragraph, but the text block is already in a paragraph.
    The text-block should be inserted without the start and end <p> tags into a page at the shortcode position.
    Hope this helps make this plugin a real winner.

    To get rid of the p tag that surrounds it, you can go into ‘Text’ mode which is in the top right of the WPeditor. Then wrap the shortcode with a DIV.

    <div>[text-blocks id="198"]</div>

    This will stop WP from adding the p tag automatically.

    Please let me know if this answers your question.

    Not really. Adding a div will not allow me to string blocks together.
    I have found another issue, related to my second post above.
    As the text block is within a <p> tag, if I then centre a text block on a page with the editor it fails to centre. The centering is applied to the outer <p> tag, and the text block remains at the left.
    Can you please consider an update that allows use of a text block without adding the <p> tag around the inserted text. The older text snippets plugin works like that, is far more flexible and far simpler to use. Adding a div in any editor always ends up in a mess, and cant be done where I want it all inline anyway.
