About this tool.
Note: This plugin does not support the block editor but should continue to work without issue when using it with custom post types and the Classic Editor Plugin .
Before WordPress displays a post’s content, the content gets passed through multiple filters to ensure that it safely appears how you enter it within the editor.
One of these filters is wpautop , which replaces double line breaks with <p> tags, and single line breaks with <br /> tags. However, this filter sometimes causes issues when you are inputting a lot of HTML markup in the post editor.
This plugin displays a checkbox in the publish meta box of the post edit screen that disables the wpautop filter for that post.
Also adds a ‘wpautop’, or ‘no-wpautop’ class to the post_class filter to help with CSS styling.
Getting started.
- 01Upload the plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
- 02Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- 03Proceed to the Settings->Writing and select which post types should have the option to disable the wpautop filter.
Frequently asked questions.
Can I disable wpautop completely with this plugin?
Right now, no. wpautop is a great filter, and in most cases you should not need it disabled globally. However, if there is enough demand for this feature we can add it.
Can I set wpautop to default to “off” for new posts.
Yes.
