   Whenever i use the command <?php echo category_description(); ?> it generate the code like:

   <p>category description etc...</p>

   But i want to remove this <p> and </p> before and after the category description.

   You can remove the paragraph tags, but it requires some code. Your best bet would be to leave it alone, and just use CSS to change how the P tag is displayed. So in your theme file:

   <div class="cat_desc"><?php echo category_description(); ?></div>

   and in your CSS:

   div.cat_desc p { display:inline; }

   If there's a block-level element before the P tag (such as an <h2> tag or something) then it'll still push it to the next line. So in that case, you could do:

   <div class="cat_desc">
   <h2><?php get_the_categry(); ?></h2>
   <?php echo category_description(); ?>
   </div>

   and in your css:

   div.cat_desc h2, div.cat_desc p { display:inline; }
