How to disable auto-p in WordPress?

Question

I need to remove the "wpautop filter" from my WordPress Website because it is adding too many paragraphs. I'm new to WordPress. I don't know how to create Child themes. The name of my theme is the "supreme directory". is it also possible to remove the "wpautop filter" from the supreme directory theme directly?

Answer 1

In your child theme's functions.php, try something like this:

remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wp_autop' );

Note that this may have unintended side-effects, and will definitely have an effect on how your content renders.
