   Hi,

   I'm posting pages using html, and it seems that Wordpress automatically adds <p> tags to my comment tags. As a result, it changes the way how the html should look.

   Does anyone know how can I NOT let Wordpress do that?

   Any advice is appreciated.

   What do you mean by 'comment tag'?

   By comment tag, I meant the html that looks like this:

   <!-- comment -->

   When I post this in Wordpress and check the page's source on the browser, it shows:

   <!-- comment --></p> or sometimes <p><!-- comment -->

   Check that your theme isn't adding the <p> tags. If not its probably the comment_text filter. But why not just style the <p> tags the way you want them and be done with it?

   Hi, thanks for your reply.

   I'm new to this so I'm not sure what you're getting at... where do I check that the theme isn't adding the <p> tags? If not, what do I do to the comment_text filter? And where is it??

   If would style the <p> tags, do I do it somewhere in the template css?

   I would say start with trying to style the <p> tags. You'll need to edit the theme's css file, as you guessed. There should be a style.css in your theme. An URL would help a lot.

   Beautiful.

   Found where to style the <p> tag in the template css; I changed its line height to 100% so it won't affect how the site should look.

   Thanks again for your help.

   That <p> tag is going to show up a lot on the site. You might need to target your style to just the p tags associated with the comments.
