 * Yea I have the Toggle wpautop plugin but for some reason it does not work. WordPress
   keeps inserting random p tags into my HTML even though I have selected the disable
   wpautop box from my pages and posts. How do I get it to stop inserting these 
   unneeded p tags into my posts and pages?

 * Hey Johnnyr,
 * What other plugins do you have active on the site? We have seen issues with some
   other plugins that perform similar things overriding our plugin.

 * Hello thank you for taking the time to respond back to my post. Here is a complete
   list of all the plugins I have for my site:
 * Advanced Excerpt
    Akismet Clef Fast Secure Contact Form Hello Dolly Limit Login
   Attempts Simple Custom CSS TinyMCE Advanced Toggle wpautop
 * Akismet and Hello Dolly are the only two plugins that are deactivated. The rest
   are active and being used on my site.

 * If possible, I would disable the other plugins one at a time to see if it fixes
   the issue. If it is a plugin causing it, I would guess either Advanced Excerpt,
   TinyMCE Advanced, or Simple Custom CSS may be causing the issue.
 * Also, are you using a purchased theme? it is also possible that the theme could
   have a setting for wpautop as well.

 * I deactivated the plugins one at a time and with each plugin I deactivated I 
   did a test with my text post but the problem still persists. Unfortunately all
   the plugins were deactivated by the end and it still did not fix the problem.
   Also I am using customizr theme which is a free wordpress template I never had
   to pay anything for it.

 * I just installed the Customizr theme on a development install that I have and
   the plugin worked for me.
 * Just to confirm, you edit a post, check off the Disable wpautop checkbox above
   the publish/update button, save, view that post and that post content has P tags
   rapped around each line break.
