   Hi I've noticed contact form 7 has default
   tags.
   Does anyone know how I can remove these. I can't seem to find them in the settings?

   Thanks for all your help

   Regards
   Judi

   CF7 doesn't have any default <br /> tags that I know of.

   Did you try your delete key?

   You'd be surprised just how many times a blatantly obvious answer has eluded people. :-)

   littlecuriosity, you don't have to change the plugin's code. Adding it to wp-config.php is better.

   I tried updating WPCF7_AUTOP to false in wp-contact-form-7.php with no luck. I even tried updating it through the wp-config.php file but I still got those darn <br /> tags.

   I sure wish the plugin would leave the use of both the <p> and <br> tags up to the user.

   if ( ! defined( 'WPCF7_AUTOP' ) )
   	define( 'WPCF7_AUTOP', false );

   Anyone have any suggestions?

   In the end I was able to get the define( 'WPCF7_AUTOP', false ); to work correctly. I had it in the wrong place within the wp-config.php file. See Controlling Behavior by Setting Constants

   Cheers!

   Though I was able to get this working correctly in a v2.9 I am not able to get rid of the <br> tags in v3.0. I've added it to my wp-config file above the "Happy blogging" like the instructions say on Controlling Behavior by Setting Constants

   /* wp-contact-from-7 */
   define ('WPCF7_AUTOP', false );   // set to false to remove <br> tags
   
   /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

   What am I missing?

    When define ('WPCF7_AUTOP', false ); doesn't work, this will http://www.poiseandapple.com/panda-dev/getting-rid-of-br-tags-in-contact-form-7-plugin-for-wordpress-3-0-x/

    Read down to the second solution.

    None of the above solutions worked for me. Simple solution, update the your theme CSS file? :P

    I added the following: .wpcf7-form-control-wrap br { display: none; }

    Wasn't working for me until I just included this in my wp-config file:

    define ('WPCF7_AUTOP', false );

    I also deactivated the plugin and reactivated it and voila! no more pesky paragraphs and breaks!

    Hope that works for you. I didn't include the if not defined portion: if ( ! defined( 'WPCF7_AUTOP' ) ), since it is already defined by wp-contact-form-7.php, I figured it would not set it again in the wp-config file. I'm just presuming this is why some can't redefine this to false but I haven't verified that this is the case.

    And you may not have to do the deactivate/reactivate part--but this is the process I went through, and now it's working for me. I'm using Version: 2.4.4
