Code and Core

The Code and Core Remove Empty P Tags is a powerful yet lightweight plugin that helps you eliminate unwanted spacing in your WordPress content. With version 2.0.0, we’ve introduced complete flexibility with two cleanup modes:
<ol>
<li>Frontend Cleanup (Recommended): Automatically cleans content as it’s displayed on your site. This is non-destructive, meaning your database remains untouched while your visitors see perfectly clean content.</li>
<li>Backend Cleanup (Editor-based): Adds a checkbox to your post/page editor. When checked, content is cleaned and saved directly to the database.</li>
</ol>
What it removes:
<ul>
<li>Empty paragraph tags.</li>
<li>Paragraphs containing only non-breaking spaces.</li>
<li>Empty paragraphs with line breaks.</li>
<li>Multiple consecutive line breaks (collapses them into one).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Frontend & Backend modes: Choose between site-wide display cleanup or permanent database cleanup.</li>
<li>Block Editor (Gutenberg) Support: Fully compatible with the modern WordPress editor.</li>
<li>Classic Editor Support: Continued support for the traditional TinyMCE editor.</li>
<li>ACF Support: Clean up content in Advanced Custom Fields (WYSIWYG and Textarea).</li>
<li>Custom Post Types: Enable cleanup for any public post type on your site.</li>
<li>Exclude Post IDs: Easily skip cleanup on specific pages or posts.</li>
<li>Lightweight: Minimal impact on site performance.</li>
</ul>

LH Paragraph Level IDs plugin adds an ‘id’ attribute to each paragraph tag in a blog post, giving the author and readers additional functionality.
So for example, <code></code> becomes <code></code>.
Note if an id for an element already exists, it is kept. Also note this is done dynamically so ar no time is the content stored in the database changed.
There is also an optional feature to add a link to the paragraph symbol at the end of the post, like this. ¶ See faq for enabling this.
These additions allow anyone to link directly to that paragraph in the post. This is useful for long tracts of text and is also useful for rdf and semantics (in that these technologies often require identification of parts of a page).
Requires wp_body_open
Note this plugin requires wordpress 5.2 and for your theme to support the wp_body_open hook (most good themes do).
