This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The user is experiencing unwanted paragraph tags (
) being added automatically to the content rendered on the front end, causing discrepancies between the content template and the displayed output.
Solution:
To prevent WordPress from adding automatic paragraph tags (
), add the following code to the functions.php file of your theme:
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'wpautop' ); remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'wpautop' );
This code disables the wpautop function for both post content and excerpts.
Relevant Documentation:

I am trying to: have the front end show exactly what I have in my content template.
Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link (view on bottom of post)
This post uses the product content template inside of a view that is build in the block editor.
and hidden link (woo product archive)
This page uses the product content template inside of a product archive built in the block editor.
The product content template (same for both) is currently done in the classic editor because last time I tried to recreate it in the block editor all the features I needed were not available/working.
I expected to see: exactly the same code as I put on the back end
Instead, I got: extra paragraphs added, including an extra paragraph with a duplicated a tag inside it. Attached images show minified HTML from the content template vs what shows on front end. Three extra p tags marked in red. Code is wrapped in the no auto p shortcode and paragraphs are set to manual.
