` tags, and single line breaks with `
` 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](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wpautop)
filter for that post.
Also adds a ‘wpautop’, or ‘no-wpautop’ class to the post_class filter to help with
CSS styling.

## Installation
1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Proceed to the Settings->Writing and select which post types should have the option
to disable the wpautop filter.
## FAQ
### 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.

Thank you for taking the time to create such an awesome plugin 🙂 finally those
auto
tags are gone!  ### [Excelente Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excelente-plugin-818/) [w3573r](https://profiles.wordpress.org/w3573r/) August 22, 2020 Excelente Plugin  ### [I doesn’t work with last wordpress version](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-doesnt-work-with-last-wordpress-version/) [juanmacampora](https://profiles.wordpress.org/juanmacampora/) July 19, 2020 Plugin need to be updated because it doesn’t work with last wordpress version. I would like to use it but I am not able. Please, let me know how to overcome this problem.  ### [Handy for to prevent HTML from being messed up](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/handy-for-to-prevent-html-from-being-messed-up/) [Dave Romsey (goto10)](https://profiles.wordpress.org/goto10/) December 20, 2018 wpautop adds p and br tags to HTML which can really mess things up. This plugin allows authors to disable the wpautop filter when necessary.  ### [Awesome. Should be builtin to WP.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-should-be-builtin-to-wp/) [neotrope](https://profiles.wordpress.org/neotrope/) May 6, 2018 Solves inherent flaw in WP for editing custom web pages where WP puts in tags you don’t want (try doing a definition list with double line breaks, and see how it breaks that with paragraph tags — this fixes stuff like that). Allows for clean migration of existing static page HTML to WP, without having to fix the nanny-fixes WP tries to put in without asking and which are then hidden from you. Simply priceless plugin for webdev. If you don’t know why this is so awesome, you likely don’t need it. If you do know, you know why you must have it! And FYI: works with PHP 7.2 as of May 2018.  ### [Works as expected](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-as-expected-319/) [audunmb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/audunmb/) August 11, 2017 Had huge issues with carefully coded pages that WP “fixed” for me. Now I can avoid it this, while keeping autoformatting where it’s handy.
