New method to disable wpautop after WP 4.3?

Question

After WordPress 4.3, the old method of disabling wpautop no longer works. Has anyone discovered a new method for removing this function?

remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop', 99 );
remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop', 99 );

Answer 1

I guess you don't use it at all, so why don't you just remove the filter?

remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');
remove_filter('the_excerpt', 'wpautop');

I've tested it a few minutes ago (on WP 4.3) and it works.

p.s. I just saw that you use the same function. Sorry for that. What version are you using? This disables the wpautop on 4.3.

On the javascript side, as a crude measure you could just replace the wp.editor.autop and wp.editor.removep with no ops:

add_action( 'admin_print_footer_scripts', function () {
    ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(function ($) {
        if (typeof wp === 'object' && typeof wp.editor === 'object') {
            wp.editor.autop = function (text) { return text; };
            wp.editor.removep = function (text) { return text; };
        }
    });
    </script>
    <?php
}, 100 );

However on very limited testing although it seems to keep markup it does put it all on one line in the Text editor, which is pretty ugly...

This works well. It's about the priority of the hook :

add_filter( 'the_content', 'njengah_remove_autop', 0 );

function njengah_remove_autop($content) {

        // remove autop 

         remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );


        return $content;
}
