Even though the “community” may have voted for rich text and visual editing support
on the text widget, it should have been made optional or allowed overrides for stripping
out valid HTML. The developers really dropped the ball on this one. Making changes,
such as this, without fully testing is just bad form. Breaking a site with no recourse
is simply unacceptable! Even worse is that they just defend their decision, without
giving any way around it. Shame! Shame! Shame! At least Alan took the time to figure
out how to undo their changes and give us back the control. Thanks, Alan! I sent
you a donation for your troubles, sir! 🙂 Ciao! Brandon

I don’t know why they took this option away and make it by default paragraphing 
the text. In my case, I do not want the paragraph, this plugin saved my site! I 
am glad I found this plugin!
