I want to be able to create my own markup because the wordpress wpautop filter is worthless to me. I despise it. All I want, is to have my post interpreted as straight up html – thats it! * I don’t want to remove all s from my post because I want to be able to use them as I see fit. So I don’t want to do string replacements. * Allusion says * > just use remove_filter * Nuclear Moose says * > `remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');` * Neither provide any details as to how or where we are supposed to use this. or is this just something I chant while holding a crucifix? * _Where am I supposed to put that?_ * I am so godammed tired of fighting with worpdress over these p tags. * WHY does it still put them around everything I do? * I have read every single post on this website, and participated in every discussion yet I am unable to remove this ridiculous behavior. * For the record, so far I have * 1) unchecked “correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically” * 2) gone into “template-functions-post.php” and commented out the line that reads` add_filter("the_content", "wpautop");` (as suggested [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=20000#post-113967) * 3) checked “Use legacy my-hacks.php file support” 4) created a “my-hacks.php” file with the following lines: * > `remove_filter("the_content", "wpautop");` > `remove_filter("the_excerpt", " > wpautop");` `remove_filter("comment_text", "wpautop");` * 5) removed all whitespace from my markup before pasting it into wordpress. * 6) tried alternate versions of wordpress, including nightlies, hoping there is a bug somewhere. * None of these measures or combinations thereof have mattered. I have been very conscious of clearing my cache and even creating brand new test posts – nothing works. * Using WordPress 1.2.2 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Turn off BR filter…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/turn-off-br-filter/) * [zach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zach/) * (@zach) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/turn-off-br-filter/page/2/#post-54058) * > `remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');` * Where exactly am I supposed to put that? * I tried putting it in my-hacks.php but it did not work.

Neither of which concern me for the reasons stated previously. * What that report doesn’t tell me is why there is such an enormous discrepancy between the exact same page as html and php. * I expect the static html to be faster. But the php should be at least usable. As it stands, I can’t use the php index without killing the server. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Need Help diagnosing cause of slowdown](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-diagnosing-cause-of-slowdown/) * Thread Starter [zach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zach/) * (@zach) * [21 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-diagnosing-cause-of-slowdown/#post-129855) * I’ve been staring at [these stats](http://goldenfiddle.com/plesk-stat/webstat/).

We should have the ability to turn off this automatic formatting without installing plugins, adding extra fields, or altering the code. This should be part of the core distribution. It would be an extremely easy feature to include, and it won’t scare off timid users — that is who the “Simple controls” setting is for. The “Advanced controls” only have 3 or 4 minor additional features, and this is a perfectly logical 5th. It can be deselected by default — no one gets hurt 😉 * I understand Brak’s argument against adding complicated features for the _few_, but I’m willing to bet we aren’t as few you think; but even if we are a minority, we are an important minority of advanced users capable of forming our own html and don’t want our tool to fight against us every step of the way. * A feature shouldn’t have to be requested and used by 51% of the user base to be included, especially if it’s tucked into the Advanced tab where the average user fully expects to be confused by some of the options anyway. After all, tell me honestly, how many people need “Geo Tracking Features” in the default install, now _that_ should be plugin ; ) * The main reason for my reply is to be counted in this few. Others reading this post who agree with OtherMichael and me should also chime in. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Using Tabs for Category Navigation – CSS or differ](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-tabs-for-category-navigation-css-or-differ/) * [zach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zach/) * (@zach) * [21 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-tabs-for-category-navigation-css-or-differ/#post-84543) * I know this is an old post but I have this exact same question right now.
