But needless to say, should not we promote WordPress patch and syntax like:

add_shortcode("foo", "foo_shortcode", 7)

Where last attribute defines the priority?

I mean this

[code]<div>test</div>

becomes this

</p><div>test</div><p>

<div>test</div>

will result in test. P tags are never closed. Now, if wpautop is called after shortcodes, it would just be like this test, which is what we want.

Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!

Just came across this post and it totally saved my wrecked head!

Was having issues where WP was inserting p elements in my shortcode content.

I’m trying to make things easier for my brother to put a special offer box on his new website but want to maintain flexibility. This way he can do

[special title="blah"]
// put some content here, most likely a list
[/special]

Interestingly the only thing that was a little strange was if, in my shortcode function, I placed HTML comments after closing divs (something I do to make it easier to find what’s going on where in my source), I still had WP trying to encapsulate the HTML comments in a p element. When I removed the HTML comments everything worked fine!

Thanks dude.
