# Removing tags in Functions.php?

 * I’ve been trying to remove the <p> tags from an image from this website I’m working
   on. The white space between the menu and the content is where the image should
   be. If I view the source and remove the <p> tags myself, the image displays normally.
 * [http://hoffmastergroupinc.tushausweb.com/](http://hoffmastergroupinc.tushausweb.com/)
 * I’m using a function (in functions.php) to remove <p> tags surrounding an image,
   but it doesn’t appear to be working.
 *     ```
       function filter_ptags_on_images($content){
           return preg_replace('/<p>\s*(<a .*>)?\s*(<img .* \/>)\s*(<\/a>)?\s*<\/p>/iU', '\1\2\3', $content);
       }
       add_filter('the_content', 'filter_ptags_on_images');
       ```
   
 * Am I doing it wrong? Help on this would be much appreciated.
