Orphaned P Tags in Content Template

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: Unpaired closing p tags are included in a Content Template created with Divi.

Solution: Until we can collaborate on a solution with the Divi team, the short-term solution is to turn on the suppress_filters attribute in the CT shortcode:

Hi Christian,

The temporary patch file seems to be working for excerpts, but I suspect a similar bug also affects [wpv-post-body]

For example, look at the source code for this page:
hidden link

I used the following code to display post body:

[wpv-post-body view_template="None"]

On line 217 and 218

<div class="et_builder_inner_content et_pb_gutters3">
				NWL has some exciting news!  Nadia Williamson has a new partner in the Regina boutique — Teagan Barnes. Teagan has worked at NWL for 11 years and is feeling very blessed with this opportunity. With a BFA in Costume Design, she appreciates the loveliness of every dress. She is grateful for being able to share in the experience of finding women the perfect dress. As a mother of three, she is patiently waiting to be a part of her children's wedding experiences in the future.</p>

There's an orphaned </p> at the end, also at line 237 and 238:

			</div>
</p></div>

Please also take a look at this, thank you Christian.

I'm able to reproduce this as well, so I have escalated to my 2nd tier support team. I'll let you know if a patch becomes available for this issue.

My second tier team suggested this alternate syntax with filter suppression:

{!{wpv-post-body view_template="None" suppress_filters="true"}!}

I updated the code in your Content Template and I'm seeing the correct paragraph tag structure now. Can you confirm?

Yes, it worked, but should it have generated the orphaned </p> tags to begin with?

Also, can you please explain what suppress_filters does?

Thanks Christian

No, of course not. There seems to be a compatibility issue between Toolset and Divi, because if you switch to Twenty Seventeen with Toolset, you will see the extra markup is not added. So the long term solution may require collaboration between our teams, but the current solution is to suppress third-party post content filters for this template.

From the documentation: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#vf-153372

If suppress_filters=’true’, all third party (non WordPress) filters hooked into the_content filter will be removed, when retrieving the post body.

Sorry for the late reply, I was travelling.

I'm closing this ticket because the problem has been resolved with the suppress_filters parameter. Thanks Christian.
