UPDATE still didn't fix the extra P tags being added from the editor

    UPDATE still didn’t fix the extra P tags being added from the editor. Unfortunately WP seem to downgrade or at least the editor.

    It’s still displaying empty <p> tags. And also the weird thing is the P tag isn’t even present in my text editor on my new post I’m working on, so I cant even manually delete them at all. Double whammy on wordpress downgrade. When are they going to fix this?

    This is what one person suggested. But now we need extra lines of code for an “upgrade”

    The best solution is to remove the extraneous P tags. However, if you want to adjust the behavior here, something like this should work:

    body p:empty:before {
    content: none;
    }
    You could use that in the Custom CSS settings, or in the theme, or what have you.

    Sorry it’s beyondenigma.com. Right now I have the CSS code added. After the update today I took out the CSS and it seemed fine on one post. But my other post it was adding extra blocks. And there’s other recent threads complaining about the same issue. For sure it’s 100% WP end.

    I re added the CSS code back to the editor and it fixed the issue.

  • Hello there,

    It looks like beyondenigma.com is a self-hosted WordPress site, which is a bit different to a site hosted on WordPress.com. You can read about these differences here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    You would need to reach out to your theme/plugin developers or the hosting provider for further assistance.

    I hope this helps.
