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.
Highlights
New admin page at Settings → Empty P Tag
Turn WordPress automatic paragraphs (wpautop) on or off for content, excerpts, and text widgets
Choose where empty paragraph cleanup should run
