This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I am trying to: get my form to display normally with layouts template as page template. The form shortcode is in the post body. A form showing with extra p and br tags
Solution:
1. To remove extra paragraph tags, please add the following code in your theme’s functions.php file:
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' );
add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' , 12);
add_filter('the_content', 'remove_empty_p', 20, 1);
function remove_empty_p($content){
$content = force_balance_tags($content);
return preg_replace('#<p>\s*+(<br\s*/*>)?\s*</p>#i', '', $content);
}
2. You can also try [wpv-noautop] shortcode and place all your content inside this:

Alternate solution used by the client: Formidable plugin has an option to minimize HTML. This stops the extra tags from being generated.
