How to make a certain p class the default p class (for Wordpress theme)

Question

I made a custom p class for text in my Wordpress site. The trouble is, the CSS is coded in such way, if I put the properties from that p class on the default p - it messes up the layout.

So to get the text layout I want, I need to put in front of every paragraph - and that's very annoying.

Is there a way to make that custom p class the default p by wordpress?

Answer 1

You have to insert this into your functions.php file in order to replace all your <p> with something like <p class="class"> .

function paragraph_replace($content){
    return preg_replace('/<p([^>]+)?>/', '<p$1 class="class">', $content);
}
add_filter('the_content', 'paragraph_replace');

Then you can easily address this class through CSS.
