    Using WordPress and TinyMCE Advanced. One of the pages has content set in a table. Anytime edits are done within the text of this table, wordpress adds <p>&nbsp;</p> to the bottom at the end of the table, causing unwanted space at the bottom of the page above the footer. How can I stop this from happening?

    The WordPress TinyMCE will automatically insert <p> if blank lines have been added, or spaces are added, to the Visual Editor. This is by design as the purpose is to replicate the WYSIWYG nature of the Visual Editor. Alternatively, you may want to design in the Text Editor where a more traditional html interface is used. For more information, please review: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/TinyMCE

    Also in the link above is an external link explaining how to disable the automatic insertion of <p>. For your convenience, the link is: http://redrokk.com/2010/08/16/removing-p-tags-in-wordpress/
