title: Preventing wp from removing br and p tags
body: <p>Is there a way to prevent WP from removing br and p tags from posts or pages ?</p>
  
  <p>so far I've added <code>remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');</code> to my <code>functions.php</code> file which completely disables formatting.</p>
  
  <p>However when i edit a post or page, and in the HTML editor add br or p tags then switch back to visual mod the br/p tags that i added get removed.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to prevent this ?</p>
