Code and Core Remove Empty P Tags

Beskrywing

The Code and Core Remove Empty P Tags is a powerful yet lightweight plugin that helps you eliminate unwanted spacing in your WordPress content. With version 2.0.0, we’ve introduced complete flexibility with two cleanup modes:

  1. Frontend Cleanup (Recommended): Automatically cleans content as it’s displayed on your site. This is non-destructive, meaning your database remains untouched while your visitors see perfectly clean content.
  2. Backend Cleanup (Editor-based): Adds a checkbox to your post/page editor. When checked, content is cleaned and saved directly to the database.

What it removes:

  • Empty paragraph tags.
  • Paragraphs containing only non-breaking spaces.
  • Empty paragraphs with line breaks.
  • Multiple consecutive line breaks (collapses them into one).

Key Features

  • Frontend & Backend modes: Choose between site-wide display cleanup or permanent database cleanup.
  • Block Editor (Gutenberg) Support: Fully compatible with the modern WordPress editor.
  • Classic Editor Support: Continued support for the traditional TinyMCE editor.
  • ACF Support: Clean up content in Advanced Custom Fields (WYSIWYG and Textarea).
  • Custom Post Types: Enable cleanup for any public post type on your site.
  • Exclude Post IDs: Easily skip cleanup on specific pages or posts.
  • Lightweight: Minimal impact on site performance.

Kwel-vrae

Does the plugin work with the Block Editor (Gutenberg)?

Yes! Version 2.0.0 fully supports the Block Editor. You can enable or disable this in the settings.

Can I use it for Custom Post Types?

Yes. You can select which post types (including CPTs) should be processed in the plugin settings.

Does it support ACF?

Yes. There is a built-in option to clean Advanced Custom Fields content.

What is the difference between Frontend and Backend modes?

Frontend mode cleans the content on-the-fly when a visitor views the page (non-destructive). Backend mode requires you to check a box in the editor to clean and save the changes permanently to the database.
