PHP WordPress Remove Paragraph and Line Break Tags

PHP WordPress Remove Paragraph and Line Break Tags

I find myself needing to remove the paragraph and line break tags that are automatically added into the post or category description quite often. So here is how it can be done For Categories or Custom Taxonomies

add_filter( 'term_description', 'do_shortcode' ); /*Enable shortcode for term_description (incl. category/other taxonomy)*/
add_filter( 'term_description', 'shortcode_unautop' ); /*Don’t auto-p wrap shortcodes that stand alone*/
add_filter( 'term_description', 'wpautop' , 100); /*Remove line breaks from term_description by pushing priority to the end. Alternatively, you can remove the filter entirely*/
remove_filter('term_description', 'wpautop'); /*Remove line break filter completely*/

For Posts

add_filter( 'the_content', 'do_shortcode' ); /*Enable shortcode for term_description (incl. category/other taxonomy)*/
add_filter( 'the_content', 'shortcode_unautop' ); /*Don’t auto-p wrap shortcodes that stand alone*/
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' , 100); /*Remove line breaks from term_description by pushing priority to the end. Alternatively, you can remove the filter entirely*/
remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop'); /*Remove line break filter completely*/
