HTML emails have br tags inserted after closing paragraph tags | Troubleshooting Subscribe2 HTML | Support | Semper Plugins

But this is inside of the actual content, not around it. In the template, it’s just the {POST} keyword. Whatever process is replacing {POST} with the post content appears to be inserting BRs after closing Ps, within the post content.

The front-end form submission is storing HTML as part of the post_content. I’m not sure at what point or which plugin is actually adding the extraneous BR tags after paragraph close tags (it’s not happening when the_content is rendered to a page), but since we’re using WPMandrill (the “content” checkbox is not checked in WPMandrill settings, btw), I simply used the mandrill_payload filter to do a str_replace on $message[‘html’], replacing closing Ps followed by self-closing BRs with only closing Ps.

I know that’s a fairly narrow set of circumstances, but if anybody else runs into that problem ( front-end post submission -> extra break tags in html emails -> sending via WPMandrill ), that’s one way to clear it up.
