 * having same problem, the theme developer is not much help, but here’s the code
   he gave me to add to functions.php file, maybe it will help you, it brought my
   site down, but I didn’t know exactly where to place it, so I removed it, maybe
   you know where to place it?
 * remove_filter(‘widget_text_content’,’wpautop’)
 * He also said remove all spaces in the widget code, did not help my issue. the
   <p>’s and </br>’s are not showing up in the text tab, and I don’t know what file
   to go to in order to remove those.

 * Ah, I found the solution after much research. Add the plugin Black STudio Tiny
   MCE Widget, and it allows you to add a “visual editor” widget rather than a “
   text” widget to your widget areas that eliminates the spacing issues. good luck!
