# Longer plain text

 * When storing plain text in a pod, you can use field type ‘Plain Text’. However,
   this field type is restricted in length (it seems).
 * Is there a way to store plain text with a length of (for example) 400 characters
   in a pod field?
 * I know there are paragraph field types, like ‘Plain Paragraph Text’. These field
   types can store a longer text, but this text will automatically be enclosed by
   paragraph tags (<p></p>), which is unwanted in my page layout.
 * So: is there a way to store longer texts in a pod field without having paragraph
   tags automatically added?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flonger-plain-text%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
