# wpautop extra tags…..

 * I am getting auto generated <p> tags.
 * The P tags contain 2 spaces in them…. <p> </p>
    I know this is something related
   with TinyMCE. We had an old plugin from “Preserved HTML Editor” installed and
   the problem started occuring. I removed the plugin and it was still auto generating
   P tags but with 1 space…. <p> </p>
 * Now its generating 2 spaces <p> </p> and I don’t have a clue of fixing it..
    
   I tried <?php remove_filter (‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’); ?> and it does not work
   for me..
 * I would use this script as a temporary fix back when the P tags were single spaced…
 * <!– ?php remove_filter (‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’); ?–>
    <script> $(document).
   ready(function() { $(‘p’).each(function() {
 *  var $ps = $(this);
    if ($ps.html().replace(/\s| /g, ”).length == 0) $ps.remove();});});
   </script>
 * Anyone know how to stop this from happening…
