AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Empty P Tag is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Editor category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 7 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Empty P Tag works
Show full descriptionShow less
Empty P Tag helps you keep clean front-end markup when WordPress, themes, or builders insert unwanted empty <p> / <br> tags that create awkward spacing.
What it does
Removes empty paragraph tags (including whitespace-only and paragraphs)
Optionally disables WordPress wpautop on content, excerpts, and text widgets
Gives you a Settings screen so you can choose exactly where cleanup runs
Stays lightweight: front-end cleaning runs only where you enable it
Useful when
Page builders or custom HTML layouts pick up extra vertical space
Classic editor / mixed content leaves empty paragraphs behind
You want wpautop off in some places, but normal paragraphs elsewhere
Default settings match older versions of this plugin, so existing sites keep the same behavior after upgrading.
Release Notes Version 5.0.0 – Major update This release rebuilds Empty P Tag around a proper settings experience while keeping the previous default behavior for existing sites.
