### 󠀁[Adds tags silently](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adds-tags-silently/)󠁿

 [alexsbecker](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alexsbecker/) May 2, 2018

Trying to debug an issue where p tags were added despite wpautop being turned off
and despite adding a filter to the_content using preg_replace to remove p tags –
turns out it was this plugin. Uninstalled.

Causes visual editor to stop working. Not that I mind just writing in html, but 
it’s a bit of an annoyance. Tested by turning off all plugins and turning them back
on one by one. Running 4.4.1 with Twenty Sixteen as the theme.
