    Thanks for a great plugin.

    I have [you-have-a-new-message] installed in page, over forums.

    Even when there is no message, a paragraph and break show where message should be:

    <p>
<br>
</p>

    This is causing some spacing issues for us. Is there a way to remove this paragraph and break when there is no message present?

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    This does seem like a common issue caused by the wpautop filter. Can you strip some newlines from your shortcode usage? For instance change

    your text

[you-have-a-new-message]

more text

    to

    your text
[you-have-a-new-message]
more text

    Markus,

    Thanks for the reply. This is the only thing I have in page:

    [you-have-a-new-message][bbp-forum-index]

    I tried this plugin, and it worked at removing p and b, but it messed up the rest of the site:

    Would be great if I could remove wpautop just around those two shortcodes, but leave the rest of the site alone. No luck yet with this.

    I just ran some tests on this. Apparently, using two shortcodes chained as in your example produces the empty paragraph. It kind of looks like a wpautop bug. Anyway, putting the following in your theme’s functions.php should fix the issue:

    function shortcode_empty_paragraph_fix( $content ) {

    // define your shortcodes to filter, '' filters all shortcodes
    $shortcodes = array( 'you-have-a-new-message', 'bbp-forum-index' );

    foreach ( $shortcodes as $shortcode ) {

        $array = array (
            '<p>[' . $shortcode => '[' .$shortcode,
            '<p>[/' . $shortcode => '[/' .$shortcode,
            $shortcode . ']</p>' => $shortcode . ']',
            $shortcode . ']<br />' => $shortcode . ']'
        );

        $content = strtr( $content, $array );
    }

    return $content;
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'shortcode_empty_paragraph_fix' );

    Seems to work great. Thank you very much.

    Just in case someone else needs this, there did seem to be minor typo in function (use message instead of medssage).

    Thanks again!
