Break After Blank Content

    I really appreciate this plugin, mostly for the server side functionality but just the same it’s great.

    I have been playing with the issue that when I stack content on a page/post for different dates I get extra lines where there should be no content. My current cure is to put:

    remove_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’ );
    remove_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘wpautop’ );

    in the function.php file for the theme in use but I’m afraid that might bite me at some point.

    Do you have any advice?

    Thanks,

    David M. O’Neill

    Glad you’re finding it useful.

    If you post an example of what you’re trying to do, I’ll see if I can reproduce your issue, and perhaps I can do something about it.

    Thanks for the offer!
    First I’m using a page template that allows me to display only contents:

    <?php
/**
	Template Name: plainpage

*/
?>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body { background-color: #ffffff; }
#page-content {
position: relative;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
}
</style>
<title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); bloginfo('name'); ?></title>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>

<body>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="page-content">
	<?php the_content(); endwhile; ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>

    Then using this template I stack timed content such as:

    [timed-content-server show=”2013-Sep-17 00:01:01 -0400″ hide=”2013-Sep-17 23:59:59 -0400″]<img class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-1144″ alt=”construction” src=”http://wptestsite.fasterlight.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/construction.png&#8221; width=”315″ height=”320″ />[/timed-content-server]
    [timed-content-server show=”2013-Sep-16 00:01:01 -0400″ hide=”2013-Sep-16 23:59:59 -0400″]<img class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-1144″ alt=”construction” src=”http://wptestsite.fasterlight.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/construction.png&#8221; width=”315″ height=”320″ /><p>Some Text HERE.</p>[/timed-content-server]

    As mentioned in the previous message, if I don’t remove those filters, on rendering each timed content shows a after it. This appears to be a property of WP and not your plugin.

    Regards,

    David

    What happens when you have both shortcodes on a single line, instead of on separate lines, as you do here?

    When I concatenate all lines the
    is not generated by WP.

    Although this is good, it may not be practical if I’m stacking 10-20 timed content instances.

    Like I said, I am quite satisfied with the plugin and believe the problem stems from the workings of WP.

    Thanks again,

    No problem.

    I think you’re right about the wpautop filter; I’ve fought with it many times in my various WP adventures. I agree that having a bunch of timed content instances on a single line would be a pain to maintain. I’ll have to give that some thought on whether there’ a better way to handle it. I’m going to mark this as “Resolved.”
