Unchecked "Automatically add paragraphs." but still auto added paragraphs

[zheng1212]

Hello, I'm a new to WordPress Trac.

I dragged a text widget to the sidebar, added Google AdSense code, then keep the option "Automatically add paragraphs." unchecked.

But i found that, it continue adding paragraphs to my sidebar.

I tried 2.8 stable version and it still auto add that.

Please see my attachment imgs.

working fine on my end. please triple check that your theme or other plugins of yours isn't filtering the widget's text.

Thanks. I'm using the theme 'Tarski' and i didn't find out the lines which lets it add a 'p' and 'br' tag.

Can you help me to find out?

[Denis-de-Bernardy]

yes. disable all plugins, use the default theme. enter this in a text widget:

test1

test2

to me, it ends up like:

test1 test2

i.e. it works.

I doubt this is a WordPress problem; it's much more likely to do with the formatting Tarski adds to text widgets, which was added to solve some issues quite some time ago and hasn't been reviewed since. I'm redoing most of the widget-related code for the next version, so this should be fixed in the next week or so. Until then, try Denis' instructions; if they work, try opening the file app/launcher.php in your Tarski installation and comment out the following line:

add_filter('widget_text', 'tarski_content_massage');

It's probably also worth noting that text widgets really should have more filtering on their output; wptexturize() at least.

This is much worse in 4.8, at least this didn't happen before, and this should probably be escalated to critical issue.
