Recently, a client was having problems using a plugin called by a shortcode. As it turned out, the JavaScript embedded in the returned content was being broken by the WordPress auto-paragraph feature known as wpautop.
Thank to a bit of research, I found the following solution, recorded here in case the original blog post becomes unavailable.
- Create the file
wp-content/plugins/disable-wpautop/disable_wpautop.phpbased on the code below the procedure. - WordPress » Admin » Plugins » Activate “Disable wpautop”
- Go to the page or post to disable the auto-paragraph feature on
- If the Screen Options tool is not visible below, locate the Screen Options button in the upper right corner, open it and check the box labeled Custom Fields.
- Locate the Custom Fields tool box below, and inside of it the header “Add New Custom Field:”, and under that click on “Enter New”.
- Enter
wpautopas the Name, andfalseas the Value, then click the “Add Custom Field” button. - Click the ‘Update’ button to save the settings.
