You can find full details of installing a plugin on the plugin installation page.
If you find that breaks (<br/>) are being stripped from your posts then look at this WordPress support page.
Thank you John, you are the man!
Worked like a charm! You are frickin’ awesome! Thanks so much for the time- and sanity-saving tool.
This worked like a charm in wordpress 3.3.2. Just activate it.. your work is over….
Installed on WordPress 3.3.2, works PERFECT, you made my day, thanks bro !
I could cry – thank you so much for developing this – instantly the stupid I’ve been fighting with all morning has gone.
Excellent and wish I’d looked for this years ago
Thanks
You’ve just saved me a lot of work!
I made a script to batch import my youtube video’s and it added a in every single embedded youtube video. Thanks to this plugin it corrects those posts and shows the youtube video’s like it should do 🙂
thx a lot! 🙂 works perfect
Thank you so MUCH for this! Helps so much when putting code onto pages. Damn WP makes it a pain but with this plugin, it solved all issues with being placed into the page.
Works in 3.6.1, thank you!!
Hey John,
Would it be possible for me to write a plugin that *modified* wpautop rather than disabling it? I only want to stop it from inserting tags inside my blockquotes, but keep the rest of the functionality.
Sure, you’ll probably need to reproduce the function and remove the bits you don’t want.
Works with 3.7.1. Thank you!
Thanks for this wonderful plugin.
This is a marvelous plugin except for the fact that it will remove all paragraphs even those deliberately added into into the text editor.
Thank you! It works! I am not still frustrated from the WordPress. It is horrible function – removing all the paragraph and break tags by the default wordpress settings. But I am still surprised, who had this stupid idea when programming the WordPress framework? Just tragedy…
