Do you want to remove the paragraph tags from around the images? By default, when you insert images in your content, it’ll create a paragraph tag around the image.
Instructions:
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:
function filter_ptags_on_images($content){
return preg_replace('/<p>\s*(<a .*>)?\s*(<img .* \/>)\s*(<\/a>)?\s*<\/p>/iU', '\1\2\3', $content);
}
add_filter('the_content', 'filter_ptags_on_images');

Good
Better solution and faster (already included in WordPress).
By default, WordPress adds paragraph “ tags to category descriptions. Stop this by adding the following to your **functions.php** file
// Remove p tags from category description
remove_filter(‘term_description’,’wpautop’);
**Simple and easy (codeless).**
