Hi team,

I created a view with a raw output, but have noticed 2 things:

1.) There seems to be a trailing whitespace before the next character starts, and I'm not sure why that is.

2.) When you view source, there appears to be a _ton_ of whitespace for no reason and it just adds to the HTML for no reason.

Please see the following: hidden link

Thanks and have a happy new year!

Hi there,

Thanks for asking! I'd be happy to help.

To remove the empty spaces from your two views, you can follow these steps:

1. Please go to the view's edit screen and remove all empty spaces and line breaks from the "Loop Editor" section, making sure all the tags in there are in a single line.
( example screenshot: hidden link )

2. Similarly, check your view's content template section and make sure there are no empty spaces or line breaks.

3. From the "Output Editor" section remove the shortcode "[wpv-filter-meta-html]".

I hope this helps and please let me know how it goes.

regards & Happy New Year,
Waqar

Thank you, that solution worked perfectly and as expected! For my own understanding, and future people that may stumble upon this thread, what was the reason behind removing the "[wpv-filter-meta-html]" shortcode?

Thanks for the update and glad my message helped!

The "[wpv-filter-meta-html]" shortcode ( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#vf-154437 ) outputs the pagination and search form filters (when in use), specifically what is added in the "Search and Pagination" section.

For a view in which pagination and search filter controls are not used, it is safe to remove that shortcode.
